Performance and application
Fullerene C60 is a ball-shaped caged molecule composed of SP2 carbon atoms. The goal of introducing hydroxyl groups (hydroxylated fullerenes, also known as fullerols) into fullerenes is to increase their water solubility. Fullerols is simple in structure, biocompatible and water-soluble.However, water solubility is better only when the number of hydroxyl groups is more than 20.Fullerols have been studied extensively in the field of biomedicine. Fullerols have an electron affinity and exhibit a strong antioxidant capacity, which can reduce free radicals in the body.
Fullerols are insoluble in acetone and methanol, but soluble in DMF. It's chemically similar to fullerene.Fullerols can strongly absorb free radicals, inhibit the toxicity of chemical toxicants, resist radiation, prevent ultraviolet light damage, protect heavy metal cells from damage, resist cell oxidation, resist bacterial infection, and absorb free radicals to protect cells from all kinds of damage.It can be widely used in mri imaging, anti-hiv drugs, anti-cancer drugs, chemotherapy drugs, cosmetic additives and more scientific research.
