Early Stage In Vitro Bioprofiling of Potential Low-Molecular-Weight Organoboron Compounds for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)-Proposal for a Guide. Cells 2024; 13:798.

Abstract
Given the renewed interest in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) and the intensified search for improved boron carriers, as well as the difficulties of coherently comparing the carriers described so far, it seems necessary to define a basic set of assays and standardized methods to be used in the early stages of boron carrier development in vitro. The selection of assays and corresponding methods is based on the practical experience of the authors and is certainly not exhaustive, but open to discussion. The proposed tests/characteristics: Solubility, lipophilicity, stability, cytotoxicity, and cellular uptake apply to both low molecular weight (up to 500 Da) and high molecular weight (5000 Da and more) boron carriers. However, the specific methods have been selected primarily for low molecular weight boron carriers; in the case of high molecular weight compounds, some of the methods may need to be adapted.

Abstract
This review summarizes data on the main types of charge-compensated nido-carborane derivatives. Compared with organic analogs, onium derivatives of nido-carborane have increased stability due to the stabilizing electron-donor action of the boron cage. Charge-compensated derivatives are considered according to the type of heteroatom bonded to a boron atom.

Abstract
The use of a triphenylarsonium vector for tumour cell-targeting leads to a dramatic increase in Gd3+ uptake in human glioblastoma multiforme cells by up to an order of magnitude over the isosteric triarylphosphonium analogue, with significant implications for 'theranostic' applications involving delivery of this important lanthanoid metal ion to tumour cells.

Abstract
The development of boronic probes enabled reliable detection and quantitative analysis of hydrogen peroxide , other nucleophilic hydroperoxides, hypochlorite , and peroxynitrite . The major product, in which boronate moiety of the probe is replaced by the hydroxyl group, is, however, common for all those oxidants. Here, we describe how ortho-isomer of mitochondria-targeted phenylboronic acid can be used to detect and differentiate peroxynitrite-dependent and independent probe oxidation. This method highlights detection and quantification of both the major, phenolic product and the minor, peroxynitrite-specific cyclic and nitrated products of probe oxidation.

Abstract
Nitroxyl (HNO), the protonated one-electron reduction product of NO, remains an enigmatic reactive nitrogen species. Its chemical reactivity and biological activity are still not completely understood. HNO donors show biological effects different from NO donors. Although HNO reactivity with molecular oxygen is described in the literature, the product of this reaction has not yet been unambiguously identified. Here we report that the decomposition of HNO donors under aerobic conditions in aqueous solutions at physiological pH leads to the formation of peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) as a major intermediate. We have specifically detected and quantified ONOO(-) with the aid of boronate probes, e.g. coumarin-7-boronic acid or 4-boronobenzyl derivative of fluorescein methyl ester. In addition to the major phenolic products, peroxynitrite-specific minor products of oxidation of boronate probes were detected under these conditions. Using the competition kinetics method and a set of HNO scavengers, the value of the second order rate constant of the HNO reaction with oxygen (k = 1.8 × 10(4) m(-1) s(-1)) was determined. The rate constant (k = 2 × 10(4) m(-1) s(-1)) was also determined using kinetic simulations. The kinetic parameters of the reactions of HNO with selected thiols, including cysteine, dithiothreitol, N-acetylcysteine, captopril, bovine and human serum albumins, and hydrogen sulfide, are reported. Biological and cardiovascular implications of nitroxyl reactions are discussed.

Abstract
Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) was used for analyzing the new cholesterol-based compounds (BCH, BCH-Da, BCH-Db and BCH-Dc) in liposomal formulations. Not only the boron compounds but also the phospholipid compositions of the liposome formulation were quantitatively analyzed. Reasonable limit of detection for boron (0.5 µg/ml) and phosphorous (0.09 µg/ml), respectively, was observed. ICP-MS was also utilized for analyzing BCH in a brain distribution study. The detection limit of boron analysis by ICP-MS is at least three orders of magnitude lower than of that of ICP-AES (1 ng B/ml). The method was linear in the range of 500-1 ng B/ml and the linearity correlation coefficient was 1. In addition, an ultracentrifugation method was developed to separate liposomes from low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Factors such as density gradient and size of liposomes were adjusted to optimize separation and it was observed that in conjunction to time, speed and density gradient, size of the liposome also had impact on the separation using centrifugation method. These findings show the importance of ICP-AES as an analytical method for the analysis of element-based compounds encapsulated in phospholipid vesicles.

Abstract
Aromatic boronic acids react rapidly with peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)) to yield phenols as major products. This reaction was used to monitor ONOO(-) formation in cellular systems. Previously, we proposed that the reaction between ONOO(-) and arylboronates (PhB(OH)2) yields a phenolic product (major pathway) and a radical pair PhB(OH)2O(•-)···(•)NO2 (minor pathway). [Sikora, A. et al. (2011) Chem. Res. Toxicol. 24, 687-697]. In this study, we investigated the influence of a bulky triphenylphosphonium (TPP) group on the reaction between ONOO(-) and mitochondria-targeted arylboronate isomers (o-, m-, and p-MitoPhB(OH)2). Results from the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin-trapping experiments unequivocally showed the presence of a phenyl radical intermediate from meta and para isomers, and not from the ortho isomer. The yield of o-MitoPhNO2 formed from the reaction between o-MitoPhB(OH)2 and ONOO(-) was not diminished by phenyl radical scavengers, suggesting a rapid fragmentation of the o-MitoPhB(OH)2O(•-) radical anion with subsequent reaction of the resulting phenyl radical with (•)NO2 in the solvent cage. The DFT quantum mechanical calculations showed that the energy barrier for the dissociation of the o-MitoPhB(OH)2O(•-) radical anion is significantly lower than that of m-MitoPhB(OH)2O(•-) and p-MitoPhB(OH)2O(•-) radical anions. The nitrated product, o-MitoPhNO2, is not formed by the nitrogen dioxide radical generated by myeloperoxidase in the presence of the nitrite anion and hydrogen peroxide, indicating that this specific nitrated product may be used as a diagnostic marker product for ONOO(-). Incubation of o-MitoPhB(OH)2 with RAW 264.7 macrophages activated to produce ONOO(-) yielded the corresponding phenol o-MitoPhOH as well as the diagnostic nitrated product, o-MitoPhNO2. We conclude that the ortho isomer probe reported here is most suitable for specific detection of ONOO(-) in biological systems.

Abstract
New 1,2-closo- and 7,8-nido-carboranylpyrazolopyrimidines bind to the translocator protein (TSPO) with high affinity, providing the first evidence of a unique two-site binding profile for the closo-carborane derivative. The boron-rich compounds can also deliver boron to human glioma cells far more effectively than clinical agents used in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT).

Abstract
Treatment of A549 human lung carcinoma cells with a DNA metallointercalator complex containing a PtII-terpy (terpy = 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine) unit linked to a functionalized closo-carborane cage results in the uptake of the complex within the cells, as determined by synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (XRF) imaging. Although a significant cellular uptake of Pt existed, there was no significant accumulation of the element within the cell nuclei. Other statistically significant changes from the XRF data included an increase in Cl, K, and Cu and a decrease in Fe within the treated cells.
