Abstract
A new highly boronated Zn(II)-phthalocyanine with eight cobalt bis(dicarbollide) units (144 boron atoms) was prepared and its intracellular accumulation and distribution in GL6 human glioblastoma cells were studied. It was found that the boronated phthalocyanine undergoes strong aggregation in intracellular environment.

Funding
closo-dodecaborate for cobalt bis(dicarbollide) should result in enlarged intracellular boron accumulation that would be sufficient for the BNCT requirements. This suggestion is supported by the results of in vitro study of boronated chlorin e6 derivatives demonstrating higher cell uptake of cobalt bis(dicarbollide) containing porphyrins vs. closo-dodecaborate containing ones [27, 28].
