A series of bibenzimidazole derivatives based on the known DNA minor groove binder Hoechst 33258 have been prepared to include a 1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane cage for potential use in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). The carborane derivatives (5)-(7) were chosen to reduce the steric inhibition of minor groove DNA binding displayed by the previously prepared carborane ligand (4). The synthesis and preliminary DNA binding studies of these bibenzimidazole derivatives are presented herein.

The synthesis and characterization of four novel boron-containing bibenzimidazoles related to the DNA minor groove binder Hoechst 33258 are reported.Such compounds, particularly their 10B-enriched forms, have potential as agents for boron neutron capture therapy which is used in the treatment of cancers.
