Dp. Kelly et al., DNA-BINDING COMPOUNDS .5. SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BORON-CONTAINING BIBENZIMIDAZOLES RELATED TO THE DNA MINOR-GROOVE BINDER, HOECHST-33258, Australian Journal of Chemistry, 47(2), 1994, pp. 247-262
The synthesis and characterization of four novel boron-containing bibe
nzimidazoles related to the DNA minor groove binder Hoechst 33258 are
reported. Such compounds, particularly their B-10-enriched forms, have
potential as agents for boron neutron capture therapy which is used i
n the treatment of cancers.
