Fullerenes immobilized at silica surface: topology, structure and bioactivity

Bioactivity Study of the C60-L-Threonine Derivative for Potential Application in Agriculture

“…Various fullerene derivatives, their noncovalent interactions, and various physicochemical properties are being actively studied now [8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] However, the low solubility of fullerenes in water and water solutions limits their wide application and commercial use. The synthesis of fullerene derivatives has improved miscibility of fullerenes in water, which showed to have promising results in fields from medicine to engineering [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. The solubility of fullerene derivatives in water allows their application in pharmacology as antioxidants, which protect cells from being attacked by reactive oxygen species (ROS) [29][30][31].…”

Comparative Analysis of the Antineoplastic Activity of C60 Fullerene with 5-Fluorouracil and Pyrrole Derivative In Vivo

“…At low (near-physiological) concentrations, C 60 fullerenes demonstrate no acute toxic effect in normal cells [13–17]. It was also reported that C 60 fullerene can be used in antitumor therapy [18, 19], including the photodynamic therapy for the treatment of oncological diseases [20–23] as well as the targeted delivery of traditional drugs into cancer cells [24, 25]. …”

Impact of Metal Nanoform Colloidal Solution on the Adaptive Potential of Plants

“…There is no single opinion on the impact of nanoparticles upon physiological and biochemical processes in the literature available—both positive and negative effects are noted. The pro-oxidant effect of synthesized fullerene-containing (10–6 mol/l by C60) supramolecular composites on the lipid peroxidation processes has been revealed [ 4 , 5 ].…”
