Outline of Final Research Achievements

Carbon nanohorns (CNH) are pseudo-cylindrical materials made of a single piece of graphite with a diameter of 2-5 nm and a length of 40-50 nm. Boron-carbon nanohorns (BN-CNH) are nanoparticles that can be used as a new boron compound, containing a large amount of boron within CNH and also connected to the outer wall of the particles. To evaluate BN-CNH, boron uptake experiments using cell cultures, colony-forming assay after neutron irradiation, in vivo boron distribution after mouse tail vein and topical administration were performed. The effect of BN-CNH was limited compared to the positive control using BPA.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

BN-CNHは全身投与の場合大半が脾臓にトラップされてしまい、局所投与では、拡散しないためむらが生じる等の問題がある。また、培養細胞を用いた中性子照射実験では、BPAに比べ1/5程度の効果しか得られなかった。そのためそのままで臨床に供することは難しいが、その一因としてホウ素源材料に10Bが1/5しか含まれないナチュラルボロンを使用していることが考えられる。ホウ素源としてB10を使用し、局所投与の方法を検討することにより、新しいホウ素薬剤となる可能性があると考えられる。
