“…Various methods for increasing BPA-mediated boron delivery to tumor cells have been reported (29)(30)(31). In melanoma, BPA accumulation and the melanin-producing activity of the tumor cells are correlated because BPA is a tyrosine analogue, a precursor of melanin (12,32). The conversion of L-tyrosine to melanin is mediated by the enzymatic activities of the tyrosinase family of proteins, which includes tyrosinase, TRP-1, and TRP-2.…”

“…Neste contexto, a característica binária de BNCT pode ser uma ferramenta atrativa para melhorar a resposta do tratamento padrão da radioterapia, entregando uma dose elevada ao tumor e reduzindo os efeitos em tecidos normais, devido à diferente captação de boro em células normais e tumorais Hiratsuka et al, 2000).…”

“…Morita et al, (2006) relataram que no melanoma, o acúmulo de BPA é proporcional à atividade de produção de melanina da célula (Morita et al, 2006). Assim, o acúmulo de BPA e atividade de produção de melanina das células tumorais são correlacionados, pois a BPA é um análogo da tirosina, um precursor da melanina Hiratsuka et al, 2000). A conversão da L-tirosina à melanina é mediada pela atividade enzimática das proteínas da família das tirosinases (Hearing, 1991).…”
