The medicinal chemistry of carboranes
Abstract
The medicinal chemistry of dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes (otherwise referred to as carboranes) has traditionally centered on their use in boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). More recently, work has begun to exploit the unique chemical and physical properties of carboranes for the preparation of novel inorganic pharmaceuticals and biological probes. This review is designed to highlight some of the recent work concerning medicinal carborane …
