Some antitumor drugs react with DNA by inducing DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) which can block DNA transcription and replication.[1] ICL-inducing agents, such as nitrogen mustard, mitomycin C, cisplatin, and psoralens have been used in cancer therapy.[2] However, the major disadvantage of these agents is their poor selectivity for cancer cells. One novel approach to reduce the toxicity of cross-linking agents for normal cells would be the creation of prodrugs that undergo tumor-specific activation. Inducible DNA crosslinking or alkylating agents have been developed by several research groups.[3-6] However, few of them can induce DNA crosslinks selectively under tumor-specific conditions. One of the exclusive features of cancer cells is the high level of oxidative stress that is associated with the increased amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS).[7-10] Therefore, it would be advantageous to develop novel cross-linking agents that can be activated by the high level of ROS in cancer cells.Among different ROS, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radical (• OH), and superoxide radical anions (O2•-), H2O2 has a pivotal role because it is a stable ROS and generated from nearly all sources of oxygen radicals.[11] Increased levels of H2O2 in cancer cells compared to normal cells have been reported.[7, 12] These factors make H2O2 an ideal candidate as a therapeutic target to develop new ROS-inducible prodrugs with high selectivity to cancer cells. Arylboronic esters are particularly suitable to this prodrug approach because H2O2 can readily cleave the boronic ester to release the quinone methide (QM).[13] Quinone methides are important intermediates in a large number of DNA crosslinking and alkylating processes. With simple modifications suggested by Rokita's group,[4] Freccero's group,[5] Zhou's group [6] and others,[14] QM can induce DNA ICLs through different strategies for initiation including UV irradiation, fluoride ion, heating, or oxidation et.. Meanwhile, Cohen's group reported the activation of Matrix Metalloproteinase inhibitor in situ by protecting the hydroxyl group of the zinc-binding group (ZBG) with boronic ester as the H2O2-sensitive trigger.[15] Boronate-based probes have been developed by Chang's group, Lo's group, and others for selective detection and imaging of hydrogen peroxide in cells.[16] Recently, our group has shown that a prodrug of nitrogen mustard coupled with an arylboronate can be triggered by H2O2 to release active drugs that can kill cancer cells.[17] However, therapeutic utility would require a more efficient trigger that can be coupled with multiple potent effectors to maximize the ROS-inducible cytotoxicity of prodrugs. We expect that the arylboronic ester and biarylboronic ester derivatives 1-3 can be activated by
