C60 Fullerene’s Role in Health and Longevity

C60 Fullerene’s Role in Health and Longevity A series of patents and studies highlight the remarkable potential of [60]fullerene (C60), a soccer ball-shaped carbon molecule, in biomedicine, cosmetics, optics, and regenerative therapies. Using high-purity sublimed C60 (99.98%) and its water-soluble derivatives, these innovations aim to enhance health, combat aging, and extend lifespan. Key Applications and […]

Buckminsterfullerenols as Neuroprotective Agents Against Neuronal Damage

Buckminsterfullerenols as Neuroprotective Agents Against Neuronal Damage A research study published in Neuroscience in 1996 by Dugan et al. investigates the potential of buckminsterfullerenols, a type of water-soluble, polyhydroxylated C60 fullerene derivatives, to protect brain cells (neurons) from damage caused by excitotoxicity and apoptosis. The study demonstrates that these fullerene-based compounds act as powerful antioxidants, […]

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 […]
