A novel Tyr3-octreotate conjugated closo-carborane as a potential compound for boron neutron capture therapy was obtained via Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesis. The boron cluster (C2B10H11) was introduced through the reaction of 6,9-bis(acetonitrile)decaborane and 5-hexynoic acid yielding a new closo-carborane conjugated carboxylic acid which was coupled subsequently with solid phase conjugated Tyr3-octreotate.
