Complexation of C60 Fullerene with Aromatic Drugs

“…Figure 2 b, which corre-The contributions of various physical factors to the energetics of complexation of aromatic drug molecules with C 60 fullerene are investigated in terms of the calculated magnitudes of equilibrium complexation constants and the components of the net Gibbs free energy. [13,14] The presence of individual C 60 aggregates with sizes 10-100 nm was also seen in the AFM images. Analysis of the energetics has shown that stabilization of the ligand-fullerene complexes in aqueous solution is mainly determined by intermolecular van der Waals interactions and, to lesser extent, by hydrophobic interactions.…”

Bacterial cell association and antimicrobial activity of a C60 water suspension

“…3). Concentrations lower than 4.8 mg/L of nano-C 60 , the addition of water, or the addition of C 60 (OH) [22][23][24][25][26] had little or no effect on the metabolic rates of E. coli. In comparison Environ.…”

“…The metabolic activity of bacteria dosed with nano-C 60 while in exponential phase was monitored using a respirometer (Fig. The addition of water or C 60 (OH) [22][23][24][25][26] did not impact B. subtilis. The experiments were repeated five times, and the results shown are from one typical experiment.…”

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

“…The found gyration radius of clusters, R g , is about 20 nm. For spherical homogeneous approximation in the case of C 60 FAS [6, 40, 42, 43], the C 60 fullerene nanoparticle size can be estimated as 2 × (5/3) 1/2  ×  R g , which gives the effective diameter about 52 nm.…”
