Abstract
The first BNCT antitumor effects of BNNTs toward B16 melanoma cells were demonstrated. The use of DSPE-PEG2000 was effective for preparation of the BNNT-suspended aqueous solution. BNNT-DSPE-PEG2000 accumulated in B16 melanoma cells approximately three times higher than BSH and the higher BNCT antitumor effect was observed in the cells treated with BNNT-DSPE-PEG2000 compared to those treated with BSH, indicating that BNNT-DSPE-PEG2000 would be a possible candidate as a boron delivery vehicle for BNCT.Entities:
