Abstract

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 1°B-enriched forms, have potential as agents for boron neutron capture therapy which is used in the treatment of cancers.
