1-(Carboranyl)-3-(2-methylaziridino)-2-propanols bearing cascade polyo
ls, MACB(OH)(2) and MACB(OH)(4), were prepared in order to increase wa
ter solubility in comparison with MACB itself. By attaching cascade po
lyols as a water solubilizing element, cytotoxicity decreased and boro
n uptake by cancer cells increased.
