C60 Fullerene for Health and Longevity

C60 Fullerene for Health and Longevity What’s New? A patent describes a method to use [60]fullerene (C60), a soccer ball-shaped carbon molecule, to improve health and extend lifespan in mammals. The C60 is mixed into a biocompatible lipid carrier, like olive oil, butter, or liquid paraffin, to make it easier to administer. Key Points: Free […]

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 […]
