REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0002] The present application is an international application which claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Application No 62/406,077, filed October 10, 2016 entitled "ISOQUINOLIDINO-DUOCARMYCIN DIMERS", and U.S. Provisional Application No 62/451,658, filed January- 27, 2017 entitled "ISOQUINOLIDINOBENZODIAZEPINE (IQB)-l (CH OMETHY )-2,3-D YD O-lH-BENZO[F.] NDO E (CBI) DIMERS", the entire contents of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes. BACKGROUND [0003] Benzodiazapines have been used as therapeutics. Benzodiazepine derivatives include pyrrolobenzodiazepines. Pyrrolobenzodiazepine dimers function as DNA cross- linking agents, e.g., by binding in the minor groove of DNA molecules. Certain of these have been suggested as antiproliferative agents in the treatment of cancer. [0004] Duocarmycins also have been used as therapeutics. Duocarmycins bind to the minor groove of DNA. They alkylate the adenine at the N3 position. The general structure of Duocarmycin has two key components - a DNA alkylation unit, such as l-(chioiOmethyl)- 2,3-d ydro- H-benz0[e] dole (CBI), and an indo!e-2 carbonyl unit that non-covalently binds DNA. SUMMARY [0005] The present invention provides isoquinolidinobenzodiazepine-l(chloromethyl)- 2,3-dihydro-lH-benzo[e jmdole (' QB-CB ") compounds and methods of use thereof. n one aspect, provided herein is a compound having the Formula I : Formula I wherein: the dotted bond shown between -C(R ) ~ and - N(R )- is independently a single bond or a double bond; o when a double bond is present between -C(R )- and -N(R )-, the -C(R a)- is olefmic and has a substituent R a, and R of the -N(R b)- is not present; o when a single bond is present between -C(R 3)- and -N(R b)~, the -C(R )- is saturated and has a hydrogen substituent in addition to the R substituent and R of the -N(R ) is present; R is independently H, or OH; if present, Rb is H , L-Rx or - L-Sc; -L-Rx is a linker L attached to a reactive moiety Rx, and -L-Sc is a linker L attached to a substance S ; where L, when on its own or when in combination with Rxor Sc, is a bond or is a moiety having 1-200 nonhydrogen atoms selected from C, N, O, S, or halogen, and optionally incorporates ether, oxo, carboxamidyl, urethanyl, branched, cyclic, unsaturated, heterocyclic, aromatic or heteroaromatic moieties; Rx s a reactive moiety; Sc s a target binding agent selected from a protein, a portion of a protein, a peptide or a nucleic acid; R2 is selected from H , OH, Ci-Cio alkyl, C2-C10 alkenyl or C2-C10 alkynyl; R3, R , R 4, R , R6, and R6' are each independently selected from H , OH, Ci- C10 alkyl, C2-C10 alkenyl or C2-C10 alkynyl, or, if Y is N , is not present; * each of R 5 or R5' is independently NH2 , CO2H, H , OH, C1-C10 alkyl, C2-C10 alkenyl, C2-C10 alkynyl, -L-Rx or -L-Sc, or, if Y is N , is not present; ® R7 is : * G'-Rb' is selected from OH, O-L, O-L-Rx, O-L-Sc, N H 2 , NH-L, NH-L-Rx, or NH-L-Sc; * each Y is, independently, N or C; * each D is, independently, (CH2)n where n = 0 -4, provided that at least one D is (CH2)n where n = 1-4; * X I is any of the listed formulae: l e C-C bond of the carbon bonded to C and CI in Formula I can exist in R or S forms, or the composition can be part of a racemic mixture.
