Abstract
Microdistributions of the prospective BNCT-compound CuTCPH, a carborane-containing tetraphenylporphyrin with one Cu atom in its molecular structure, have been obtained in tissue sections of different organs of tumor-bearing and normal Syrian hamsters injected with the boron compound by employing a heavy ion microbeam. High resolution X-ray spectroscopy following micro-PIXE (Particle Induced X-ray Emission with micrometer-sized beams) with a focused 16O ion beam was used. Focusing was performed with a heavy-ion scanning high-precision magnetic quadrupole triplet microprobe. Squamous Cell Carcinomas were induced on the right Cheek Pouch of Syrian Hamsters (HCP), sampled, cryo-sectioned and freeze-dried. Two-dimensional maps of elemental concentration were obtained by scanning the beam over the samples. Very non-uniform Cu concentrations were found in all sections.
