مستخلص: Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive glioma with limited treatment options. Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) offers a promising approach for refractory cancers, utilizing boron-10 (10B) and thermal neutrons to generate cytotoxic particles. Effective BNCT depends on selective targeting and retention of 10B in tumors. Current BNCT drugs face issues with rapid clearance and poor tumor accumulation. To address this, we developed gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with cyclic arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (cRGD) peptides as a nanocarrier for Sodium Mercaptododecaborate (BSH), resulting in AuNPs-BSH&PEG-cRGD. In vitro, AuNPs-BSH&PEG-cRGD increased 10B content in GL261 glioma cells by approximately 2.5-fold compared to unmodified AuNPs-BSH&PEG, indicating enhanced targeting due to cRGD's affinity for integrin receptor αvβ3. In a subcutaneous glioma mouse model, 6 h post-intratumoral administration, the 10B concentration in tumors was 17.98 μg/g for AuNPs-BSH&PEG-cRGD, significantly higher than 0.45 μg/g for BSH. The tumor-to-blood (T/B) and tumor-to-normal tissue (T/N) ratios were also higher for AuNPs-BSH&PEG-cRGD, suggesting improved targeting and retention. This indicates that AuNPs-BSH&PEG-cRGD may enhance BNCT efficacy and minimize normal tissue toxicity. In summary, this study provides a novel strategy for BSH delivery and may broaden the design vision of BNCT nano-boron capture agents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
