Polyhydroxy Fullerenes for Non‐Invasive Cancer Imaging and Therapy

Abstract: The novel optical properties of polyhydroxy fullerenes (PHF)—which are water‐soluble, biodegradable and antioxidant—are applied for imaging and therapy of cancer. Tumors injected with PHF are imaged with photoacoustic tomography (PAT) and photothermally treated with near‐infrared (NIR) laser. Tumor size decreases up to 72% within two hours of treatment, with only a blister visible after 20 hours.

“…Tumours injected with fullerenols were imaged using photoacoustic tomography and photothermally treated with a near-IR laser. As a result, the tumour size decreased by 72% within two hours of treatment and only a blister was visible after 20 h. 323,324 Theranostic tools on the basis of EMFs can be developed with relative ease. For example, a conjugate of a derivative of the EMF Gd@C 82 , namely, Gd@C 82 O 6 (OH) 16 (NHCH 2 CH 2 COOH) 8 , with the antibody of GFP (anti-GFP) presents a model for tumourtargeted imaging contrast agent based on EMFs.…”
