A series of seven BODIPYs functionalized with ortho-carborane groups at the 8(meso) or 3/5(α) position were synthesized and characterized by NMR, HRMS, HPLC, and in the cases of 2b and 5b, by X-ray analysis. The BODIPYs exhibited low dark toxicity and phototoxicity toward human glioma T98G cells, and their cellular uptake varied significantly, with 5b accumulating the most and 7 the least. All BODIPYs localized mainly within the cell ER. The BODIPYs showed higher permeabilities than lucifer yellow across human hCMEC/D3 brain endothelial cell monolayers as the BBB model. Among this series, 1b showed the highest BBB permeability (Pe = 16.4 × 10(-5) cm/s), probably as a result of its lower MW (366 Da) and favorable hydrophobicity (log P = 1.5). The combination of low cytotoxicity, amphiphilicity, high boron content, high cellular uptake, and moderate BBB permeability renders these compounds promising boron delivery agents for the BNCT of brain tumors.
合成了一系列在8(中位)或3/5(α)位带有邻碳硼烷基团的七个BODIPY,并通过核磁共振(NMR)、高分辨质谱(HRMS)、高效液相色谱(HPLC)进行表征,对于2b和5b,还通过X射线分析进行了表征。这些BODIPY对人胶质瘤T98G细胞表现出低暗毒性和光毒性,并且它们的细胞摄取差异显著,5b积累最多,7积累最少。所有BODIPY主要定位于细胞内质网。作为血脑屏障(BBB)模型,BODIPY在人hCMEC/D3脑内皮细胞单层上显示出比荧光素黄更高的通透性。在该系列中,1b显示出最高的BBB通透性(Pe = 16.4×10⁻⁵ cm/s),这可能是由于其较低的分子量(366 Da)和良好的疏水性(log P = 1.5)。低细胞毒性、两亲性、高硼含量、高细胞摄取和适度的BBB通透性的组合使这些化合物成为用于脑肿瘤硼中子俘获疗法(BNCT)的有前景的硼递送剂。
