A biologically effective fullerene (C60) derivative with superoxide dismutase mimetic properties Read More here > 

Recent toxicology studies suggest that nanosized aggregates of fullerene molecules can enter cells and alter their functions, and also cross the blood-brain barrier. More here >

The antioxidant effect in fullerene is much greater as it has an even effect on all typical free radicals (removing the active oxygen).This effect is 172 times that of Vitamin C. This high concentration of antioxidant agents is one of the many features of C60 fullerene. More Research here >

C60 C60 fullerenes possess large amount of conjugated double bonds and low lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital which can easily take up an electron from an attack of an oxygen radical. The fullerene can react with many superoxides without being consumed. C60 fullerene derivatives are rapidly absorbed by tissues and excreted through urinary tract; low […]
