Description

The authors have devised a simple route to synthesize a natural porphyrin derivative containing two carborane cages. This molecule is both water soluble and non-toxic and accumulates well in tumor tissue with almost complete clearance in the blood in 4 to 6 days. These are extremely encouraging results and the authors plan to fine tune the porphyrin structure for optimum drug delivery. (orig./MG)
