The present invention is directed to low toxicity boronated compounds and methods for their use in the treatment, visualization, and diagnosis of tumors. More specifically, the present invention is directed to low toxicity halogenated, carborane-containing 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin compounds and methods for their use particularly in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) for the treatment of tumors of the brain, head and neck, and surrounding tissue. The invention is also directed to using these halogenated, carborane-containing tetraphenylporphyrin compounds in methods of tumor imaging and/or diagnosis such as MRI, SPECT, or PET.
本发明涉及低毒性硼化合物及其在肿瘤治疗、可视化和诊断中的应用方法。更具体地说,本发明涉及低毒性卤代、含碳硼烷的5,10,15,20-四苯基卟啉化合物及其在硼中子俘获治疗(BNCT)和光动力疗法(PDT)中的应用方法,特别用于治疗脑部、头颈部和周围组织的肿瘤。该发明还涉及将这些卤代、含碳硼烷的四苯基卟啉化合物用于肿瘤成像和/或诊断的方法,例如MRI、SPECT或PET。
