Biological Activity
Borocaptate sodium (60 μg 10B/mL, 24 hours) combined with BSO (HY-106376) enhances boron uptake and inhibits cell viability in mouse squamous carcinoma cells, rat glioma cells, and hamster lung cells, with boron uptake increasing as cell viability decreases[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Cell Line:Mouse squamous cell carcinoma SCCVII, rat glioma cell line C6, Chinese hamster V79 cells.
-
Concentration:60 μg 10B/mL (Each milliliter of Borocaptate sodium solution contains 60 µg of boron-10 isotope (10B))
-
Incubation Time:24 h
-
Result:Increased boron uptake in tumor cells by 19.2%-34.4% and enhanced the inhibitory effect on cell viability (combined with BSO (HY-106376), a glutathione inhibitor).

-
Animal Model:Spontaneous intracranial tumor-bearing dogs (primarily gliomas, mixed breed dogs, typically between 5-10 years old, weight 20-30 kg)[2]
-
Dosage:55 mg/kg
-
Administration:Intravenous injection (i.v.), single dose
-
Result:Resulted in boron concentrations of 35.9 µg/g in the tumor at 2 hours, 22.5 µg/g at 6 hours, and 7.0 µg/g at 12 hours. The boron concentration in the tumor was higher than that in normal brain tissue, with a favorable tumor-to-brain ratio.
