Boronated porphyrazines as a potential boron neutron capture therapy agent.

Abstract

The compounds from porphyrin class like porphyrins, phthalocyanines and porphyrazines are chemical systems, which can be metabolically accumulated in tumor tissue. This ability makes from them a very promising boron transport unit in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). This work presents synthesis attempt of bromated porphyrazines as potential BNCT agent.
