Background: Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a particle therapy that can be targeted at the cellular level. The most commonly used boron carrier in clinical BNCT is boronophenylalanine (BPA), which is taken up into the tumor cell via L type amino acid transporter (LAT-1). The development of new boron carrier is an important issue, because BNCT using BPA is sometimes ineffective. Focusing on folate receptors that are highly expressed in malignant gliomas, PBC-IP which contained the pteroyl group was developed. The efficacy of BNCT with this drug was evaluated. The efficacy of BNCT using PBC-IP in the F98 rat brain tumor model has been evaluated. Methods: F98 rat glioma cells were used in the in vitro cellular uptake experiment.F98 rat glioma cells were exposed to BPA, sodium borocaptate (BSH), and PBC-IP. F98 rat brain tumor models were used in biodistribution experiment and neutron irradiation experiment. PBC-IP was administered by Convection enhanced delivery (CED). Results: In vitro cellular uptake experiment showed the boron concentration of PBC-IP was much higher than that of BPA and BSH. In vivo biodistribution experiment showed that boron concentration in the tumor using PBC-IP CED was the highest at 3 hours after the termination of 24 h administration. In the in vivo neutron irradiation experiment, significantly difference was observed between BNCT BPA group and combination BNCT (BPA + PBC-IP) group. In addition, long time survivors were observed in BNCT using PBC-IP groups, which were not observed in BNCT BPA groups. Conclusions: This study showed that PBC-IP in combination with BPA may provide the multi-targeted neutron capture therapy, this is because the mechanism of tumor accumulation of PBC-IP is different from that of BPA. In addition, therapeutic strategies targeting folate receptors may be useful, and further research is warranted.
