Modular Functional Boron Delivery Agents for Boron Neutron Capture Therapy: Research Progress and Application Prospects

  • 摘要: 硼中子俘获治疗(boron neutron capture therapy,BNCT)是一种依托10B(n,α)7Li核反应实现单细胞级精准治疗的二元靶向放疗技术,对复发难治性实体瘤的治疗具有独特优势。含硼递送药物的性能是决定BNCT疗效与安全性的关键因素,传统硼药存在靶向性弱、载硼量低、药代差、缺乏实时成像功能等缺陷。近年来,基于模块化设计理念,靶向识别、高密度载硼、智能递送、多模态成像四维一体化的新型硼药研发体系逐步形成,推动BNCT硼药从“被动载药”向“靶向治疗、智能控释、诊疗一体化”迭代。本文系统梳理模块化BNCT硼药的研究进展与关键技术突破,分模块阐述各功能单元的设计原理与优化策略,重点分析多模块协同组装的核心技术瓶颈,展望智能响应型多模态一体化硼药、药械协同精准诊疗及国产低成本产业化方向,为新型BNCT硼药的分子设计、工艺改良与临床转化提供参考。

     

    Abstract: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a binary targeted radiotherapeutic approach that achieves single-cell-level tumor eradication via the 10B(n,α)7Li nuclear reaction, thereby offering distinct clinical advantages for recurrent and refractory solid tumors. The performance of boron delivery agents is a pivotal factor governing both the therapeutic efficacy and safety of BNCT. Conventional boron agents are inherently constrained by inadequate tumor specificity, low boron payload, suboptimal pharmacokinetic behavior, and the absence of real-time imaging capabilities, which collectively undermine their clinical applicability in precision nuclear medicine. To overcome these shortcomings, the modular design strategy has recently been introduced into BNCT boron drug development, culminating in an integrated platform that encompasses four functional modules: targeted recognition, high-density boron loading, intelligent delivery, and multimodal imaging. This conceptual shift is progressively steering BNCT boron agents toward advanced systems featuring active tumor targeting, smart controlled release, and theranostic integration. The present review systematically examines the research landscape and key technological breakthroughs in modular BNCT boron drugs over the period from 2020 to 2026. It elucidates the design principles and optimization strategies for each individual module, with special emphasis on the scientific challenges inherent in multi-module synergistic assembly. Future perspectives are also delineated, highlighting intelligent responsive multimodal boron formulations, device-drug integrated precision theranostic systems, and cost-effective domestically manufactured solutions, with the goal of furnishing a systematic reference framework for the molecular design, process refinement, quality assurance, and clinical translation of next-generation BNCT boron agents.
