|
| borofalan (10B) | Borofalan is a boron compound, namely phenylalanine labeled with 10B (an isotope of boron). Phenylalanine is an amino acid essential for the growth of tumor cells. It has been suggested that the compound accumulatesin tumor cells, mediated by L-type amino acid transporter-1 (LAT-1), an amino acid transporter highly expressed in multiple types of carcinomas including head and neck cancer. Borofalan alone does not inhibit tumor growth, whereas upon irradiation of neutron beams from outside the body, 10B atoms incorporated in tumorcells capture neutrons, resulting in the release of alpha rays and lithium nuclei generated by nuclear reaction, exhibiting a tumor growth-inhibitory effect. |
|
| ascorbic acid | A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables.
