Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is an emerging approach for treating malignant tumors with binary targeting. However, its clinical application has been hampered by insufficient 10 B accumulation in tumors and low 10 B concentration ratios of tumor-to-blood (T/B) and tumor-to-normal tissue (T/N). Herein, we developed fluorinated BPA derivatives with different fluorine groups as boron delivery agents for enabling sufficient 10 B accumulation in tumors and enhancing T/B and T/N ratios. Our findings demonstrated that fluorinated BPA derivatives had good biological safety. Furthermore, fluorinated BPA derivatives showed improved 10 B accumulation in tumors and enhanced T/B and T/N ratios compared to the clinical boron drug fructose-BPA (f-BPA). In particular, in B16-F10 tumor-bearing mice, fluorinated BPA derivatives met the requirements for clinical BNCT even at half of the clinical dose. Thus, fluorinated BPA derivatives are potentially effective boron delivery agents for clinical BNCT in melanoma.
