摘要

Boron-containing agents play a key role in successful boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). Icosahedral boron cluster-Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide conjugates were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for the biodistribution to develop tumor-selective boron carriers. Integrin αvβ3 is an attractive target for anti-tumor drug delivery because of its specific expression in proliferating endothelial and tumor cells of various origins. We, therefore, ...
