摘要
A unique in vivo approach to assessing the concentrations of 4-[B-10]borono-L-phenylalanine (L-BPA), a melanoma targeting compound for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), was investigated using L-BPA labelled with positron-emitting F-18 (half-life = 110 min), i.e., 4-[B-10]borono-2-[F-18]fluoro-L-phenylalanine (L-[F-18]FBPA). High melanoma uptake of L-[F-18]FBPA was reduced slightly by competition with L-BPA in the two animal models of the murine B16 melanoma and the melanotic Greene's melanoma No. 179 in hamsters. In mice given L-[F-18]FBPA and L-BPA, the concentrations of B-10 in B16 estimated from F-18 radioactivity were lower than those measured by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy. Lower estimated values were dependent on the time after injection and on the loading dose Of L-BPA. The estimated B-10 concentrations for Green's melanomas were comparable to the measured values. Positron emission tomography (PET) using L-[F-18]FBPA allowed Greene's melanomas to be clearly visualized. In conclusion, when L-[F-18]FBPA is used as a probe for L-BPA in BNCT of malignant melanomas, the melanoma can be localized and the B-10 concentrations in tissues can be assessed in vivo using F-18 radioactivity by PET.
