Aim: To improve the killing efficacy of head and neck squamous cells (SAS) by boric acid-mediated boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). Materials & methods: Boric acid-containing chitosan/alginate/polyvinyl alcohol nanoparticles (B-capNPs) were manufactured using the nano-electrospray process. Results: Less than 10% of the boric acid leaked from the B-capNPs over 2 days. The B-capNPs killed up to 2.8-fold more SAS cells and reduced cytotoxicity tenfold when compared with pure boric acid alone. B-capNPs show selective uptake in tumor cells with tumor/normal ratios of SAS to normal (NIH 3T3) and macrophage (RAW 264.7) cells of 4.0 and 3.5, respectively, which are greater than the minimum acceptable tumor/normal ratio for BNCT of 2.5. Conclusion: These findings illustrate that B-capNPs may be more superior as BNCT drugs than pure boric acid.
