Abstract :

Statement of the Problem: Dehydration products of organoboronic acids and their derivatives such as trimethylboroxine, triphenylboroxine and dipotassium-trioxohydroxy tetrafluoro triborate K2[B3O3F4OH] make up a broader class of compounds called boroxines. Recently, the halogenated boroxine K2[B3O3F4OH] was listed as inhibitor of different enzymes and it has been suggested as potential drug in the prevention and/or treatment of benign or malignant changes of the epidermis visible in the form of, for example, nevus or skin cancer as well as other types of cancers. In the recent studies it was investigated the kinetic parameters and inhibition mechanism of K2[B3O3F4OH] on enzymes catalase, peroxidase and human carbonic anhydrases. It was shown that its mM concentration could significantly reduce catalase activity and that K2[B3O3F4OH] is a potent inhibitor of some human carbonic anhydrases. It was hypothesized that the local application of K2[B3O3F4OH]-containing cream or by its intra-tumor injection could significantly reduce enzymes activity and produce beneficial effects in tumor tissue alone. Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: The catalase-mediated conversion of hydrogen peroxide, was studied in the absence and in the presence of K2[B3O3F4OH]. Manometric method was applied to monitor the enzyme reaction kinetics. The inhibitory actions of K2[B3O3F4OH] were demonstrated only in the presence of elevated concentrations. The kinetics conformed to the Michaelis�Menten model and Lineweaver�Burk plot showed noncompetitive inhibition. The horseradish peroxidase kinetics was studied by spectrophotometric and electrochemical methods. In vitro and in vivo effects of K2[B3O3F4OH] were investigated with 4T1 mammary adenocarcinoma, B16F10 melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma SCCVII cells. In vitro investigation undoubtedly showed that it affect the growth of cancer cells and that the proliferation of cells depends on the concentration.
