Complex Formation of Phenylboronic Acid Derivatives with Aldopentoses and Oligosaccharides

  • Chapter
Progress in Neutron Capture Therapy for Cancer

Abstract

p-Boronophenylalanine (p-bpa) has been studied for use in neutron capture therapy for melanoma [1,2,3,4]. The solubility of p-bpa is only 1.6 g/L in water, which is too small for medical uses. It is desirable and necessary to find a method to increase the solubility of p-bpa at the pH value of blood (pH 7.4).
