Xylose as a carrier for boron containing compounds.

Abstract
A xylosylated carborane was synthesized by standard carbohydrate methodology and tested on normal HFL-1 cells as well as transformed T24 cells. The xylosylated carborane initiated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis in both cell lines and treatment with the carborane gave a pronounced translocation of proteoglycans to the nuclei of T24 cells. However, most of the boron-containing compounds were secreted to the medium. We conclude that xylosides carrying carboranes are not suitable for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) for T24 cells. However, the uptake of boron-containing xyloside, the GAG priming capacity, and the nuclear translocation of glypican-1 make this xyloside a candidate for further investigation for selectivity toward other...
