Carboxyfullerenes as Potent Neuroprotective Agents

Carboxyfullerenes as Potent Neuroprotective Agents A pioneering study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Dugan et al., 1997) investigated the neuroprotective potential of water-soluble carboxylic acid C60 derivatives, specifically two regioisomers (C3 and D3 symmetry) with three malonic acid groups per molecule. Using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis, both isomers demonstrated […]
