Fullerenes and related carbon based derivatives have shown a growing relevance in
biology and medicine, mainly due to the unique electronic and structural properties that …

Carbon-based nanomaterials have rapidly advanced over the last few decades. Fullerenes,
carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, graphene oxide, nanodiamonds, and …

Delivering drugs to the central nervous system (CNS) is a major challenge in treating CNS-
related diseases. Nanoparticles that can cross blood–brain barrier (BBB) are potential tools …

Unlike traditional small molecule drugs, fullerene is an all-carbon nanomolecule with a
spherical cage structure. Fullerene exhibits high levels of antiviral activity, inhibiting virus …

Here we report the synthesis and investigation of anticancer effects of a series of water-
soluble fullerene derivatives bearing amino acid (F1–F7) and thioacid (F8–F10) residues …

Background The cause–effect relationships between physicochemical properties of
amphiphilic [60] fullerene derivatives and their toxicity against bacterial cells have not yet …

The regioselective synthesis of fullerene bis-adducts remains challenging because it
produces large amounts of regioisomers. Novel nontethered cis-1 and cis-2 bis …

We report novel synthetic routes for facile preparation of highly functionalized fullerene
derivatives C60 (OR) 5X (X= H, Cl, Br), C60 (OR) 4O and C60 (OR) 2 from chlorofullerene …

In the present study, we newly synthesized four types of novel fullerene derivatives:
pyridinium/ethyl ester-type derivatives 3b− 3l, pyridinium/carboxylic acid-type derivatives 4a …

We report Arbuzov-type reactions of chlorofullerene C60Cl6 with trialkyl phosphites
producing highly functionalized fullerene derivatives C60 [P (O)(OR) 2] 5H with high yields …
