The cellular distribution of 4-borono-2-[18F]fluoro-L-phenylalanine ([18F]FBPA, an analog of p-boronophenylaline), a potential agent for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), and [6-3H]thymidine ([3H]Thd, a DNA precursor) in murine two B16 melanoma sublines and FM3A mammary carcinoma was studied in vivo using double-tracer microautoradiography. Tumour volume, tumour age, cell density in the tissues and the proportion of S phase cells in the cell cycle were the same in the three tumour models. Volume doubling time, which represents tumour growth rate, was fastest in B16F10, followed by B16F1 (P &lt; 0.05), the slowest being in FM3A (P &lt; 0.001). The rate of DNA synthesis in S phase cells corresponded to the volume doubling time. The greatest amount of [18F]FBPA was observed in S phase melanocytes and the lowest amount was found in non-S phase non-melanocytes. The [18F]FBPA accumulation was primarily related to the activity of DNA synthesis and, secondarily, to the degree of pigmentation in melanocytes. The therapeutic efficacy of BNCT with p-boronophenylalanine may be greater in melanoma that exhibits greater DNA synthesis activity and higher melanin content.
