General Description

2(s)-Amino-6-boronohexanoic acid, also known as L-ABH, is a chemical compound that contains an amino group, a boron atom, and a hexanoic acid group. It is a rare type of boron-containing amino acid that has been studied for its potential use in cancer treatment and as a tool for boron neutron capture therapy. L-ABH is believed to be selectively taken up by tumor cells, leading to the accumulation of boron atoms within the cells, which can then be targeted with neutron radiation to induce cell death. 2(s)-Amino-6-boronohexanoic acid shows promise as a potential new approach for cancer therapy and is the subject of ongoing research in the field of medical chemistry and oncology.
