Boron neutron capture therapy is a special type of radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer by using boron compounds. Problems often arise from the low water solubility of these compounds, their unselective uptake into the cancer cells, and their toxicity. Here we describe the novel water-soluble ortho-carboranyl bisglycosides 7 and 10 containing either lactose or glucose and the mixed bisglycosides 1 and 28 containing glucose, mannose, and galactose. The carboranyl bisglycosides show almost no toxicity toward bronchial carcinoma cells of line A549 up to a concentration of 0.50 mM. As anticipated, these compounds exhibit nearly no uptake into C6 glioma cells; they can therefore be used for a selective delivery into malignant cells by using conjugates of glycohydrolases and monoclonal antibodies which bind to tumor-associated antigens, since by enzymatic hydrolysis the bisglycosides are transformed into lipophilic compounds.
