Background: Functionalized fullerenes, such as polyhydroxy fullerenes (PHF), have attracted particular attention due to their water solubility and their potential application in tumor imaging and therapy as carbon nanomaterials. In this study, the sonodynamically-induced antitumor effect of PHF was investigated.
Materials And Methods: Sonodynamically-induced antitumor effects of PHF in combination with ultrasound were investigated using isolated sarcoma 180 cells and solid tumor from colon 26 carcinoma cells.
Results: The cell damage induced by sonication was enhanced by two-fold in the presence of 80 μM PHF. Histidine significantly inhibited this enhancement. This inhibitory effect suggests that the sonodynamically-induced antitumor effect was mediated by sonodynamically-generated reactive oxygen species. The combined treatment of ultrasonic exposure with PHF suppressed the growth of implanted colon 26 tumors. The destruction of tumor tissue was observed with the ultrasonic treatment in combination with PHF, while neither the treatment with PHF alone nor that with ultrasound alone caused necrosis.
Conclusion: These results suggest that PHF is a potential sonosensitizer for sonodynamic treatment of solid tumors.

Background/aim: Sonodynamic cancer therapy is based on the preferential uptake and/or retention of a sonosensitizing drug (sonosensitizer) in tumor tissues and the subsequent activation of the drug by ultrasound irradiation. In the present study, we investigated the sonodynamically-induced antitumoral effect with functionalized carbon nanotubes, such as poly-ethylene glycol-modified carbon nanotubes (PEG-modified CNTs).
Materials And Methods: Antitumor effects were evaluated using histological observation and assessing tumor growth following sonodynamic exposure to PEG-modified CNTs.

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT), a promising modality for cancer treatment, involves the synergistic interaction of ultrasound and some chemical compounds termed sonosensitizers. However, its effect on pancreatic cancer cells remains unclear. In our study, we sought to identify the cytotoxic effects of ultrasound-activated 5-aminolevulinic acid on human pancreatic cancer Capan-1 cells.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sonodynamically induced antitumor effect of a novel sonosensitizer (DVDMS) in mice bearing sarcoma 180 solid tumors.
Methods: In order to determine the optimum timing of ultrasound exposure after administration of DVDMS, a three-dimensional optical imaging system (IVIS spectrum) was used to observe the biodistribution of DVDMS in S180 tumor. The antitumor effects were estimated by the tumor inhibition ratio (volume and weight) after sonodynamic therapy.
