Oxidized glutathione C(60) derivative has been synthesized and characterized in our research. As a novel derivative of C(60), the glutathione C(60) derivative is soluble in dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide and dimethylacetamide. Rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells are treated with hydrogen peroxide and underwent cytotoxicity; apoptotic death is determined by MTT assay, flow cytometry analysis, PI/Hoechst 33342 staining and glutathione assay. The results suggest that glutathione C(60) derivative has the potential to prevent oxidative stress-induced cell death without evident toxicity.

The powerful antioxidant properties of C60 fullerenes have been widely used in biomedical nanotechnology. Owing to the negative effects of free radicals in oxidative stress processes, antioxidants are required to protect injured muscles. Here, the effect of water-soluble C60 fullerenes (daily oral dose 1 mg/kg) on the process of restoration of contractile activity of skeletal muscle of rats (muscle gastrocnemius) 15 days after the initiation of open trauma of different severity was studied for the first time.

Widely-used C fullerene nanoparticles (C) result in their release into the aquatic environment, which may affect the distribution and toxicity of pollutants such as arsenic (As), to aquatic organism. In this study, arsenate (As(V)) accumulation, speciation and subcellular distribution was determined in Danio rerio (zebrafish) intestine, head and muscle tissues in the presence of C. Meanwhile we compared how single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), graphene oxide (GO) and graphene (GN) nanoparticles alter the behaviors of As(V).

The liver is the main organ responsible for the metabolism of ethanol, which suffers significantly as a result of tissue damage due to oxidative stress. It is known that C fullerenes are able to efficiently capture and inactivate reactive oxygen species in in vivo and in vitro systems. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to determine whether water-soluble C fullerene reduces the level of pathological process development in the liver of rats induced by chronic alcohol intoxication for 3, 6, and 9 months, depending on the daily dose (oral administration; 0.

The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of fullerenol C60 on lung and kidney tissue in sevoflurane‑treated rats with lower extremity ischemia‑reperfusion (IR) injury. A total of 30 Wistar albino rats weighing 225‑275 g were used and were equally divided into five groups (n=6/group): i) Sham; ii) IR; iii) IR‑fullerenol C60 (IR‑FUL); iv) IR‑sevoflurane; and v) IR‑fullerenol C60‑sevoflurane (IR‑FUL‑SEVO). Fullerenol C60 was administered intraperitoneally prior to lower extremity IR induction and sevoflurane was administered during the IR injury.

The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process in which epithelial cells acquire the ability to actively migrate via a change to the mesenchymal phenotype. This mechanism occurs in an environment rich in cytokines and reactive oxygen species but poor in nutrients. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that the use of a fullerene C nanofilm can inhibit liver cancer cell invasion by restoring their non-aggressive, epithelial phenotype.
