Introduction
The molecule C60 also called fullerene is an entire carbon molecule in the form of a sphere, ellipsoid, or tube shape. The existence of C60 was divined by Eiji Oswana in 1970. Molecule C60 has the highest density of all known structures. It is very tough and is thermally stable. It can be compressed to the maximum without losing its carbon cage. Whereas, Molecule C60 is insoluble in water and cannot conduct electricity. It is used as an antioxidant in medicines and also has anti-viral properties.
Types of Molecule C60
Uses of Molecule C60 in Medical science
- Molecule C60 acts as a photosensitizer and due to this property, it is used in photodynamic therapy (PDT). Molecule C60 is used in anticancer drugs. It has biological impacts on nucleic acids or protein so is used in anticancer activities.
- Molecule C60 has antiviral properties that are used in the treatment of autoimmune viral disorders like HIV infection, Hepatitis C, and many other viral infections.
- Amino acid derivatives of Molecule C60 are found to inhibit Human cytomegalovirus replication and Human immunodeficiency virus replication.
- Molecule C60 has antioxidant properties that prevent cell growth from various toxins. The Molecule C60 can react with several superoxides without being consumed. It can localize within the cell where in a diseased state, the production of free radicals takes place. It has been described as the world's most efficient radical sponge. The brain contains several different fatty acids and aerobic metabolism, the brain has limited or no ability to regenerate damaged tissues and is a very sensitive organ to oxidative damage. Molecule C60 can inhibit free radicals to attack fatty tissue chains of the brain and protect the person from neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease.
- Molecule C60 is also used for cytoprotective action against Ultraviolet A radiations.
- Molecule C60 helps to transfer drugs and genes into the cells by crossing three membrane barriers. Four major groups of drugs and genes transferred are - organic cation carriers, viral carriers, proteins, and inorganic nanoparticles. Molecule C60 forms a protective sheath around bound DNA, which increases the lifetime of DNA. They do not induce oral toxicity or genotoxicity.
- Molecule C60 in the form of endofullerences is used as an imaging contrast agent in MRI, X-Ray, and radiopharmaceuticals. In MRI it has both diagnostic and therapeutic functions. It kills cancer cells by rapid induction of apoptosis after illumination.
- Molecule C60 is used in various cosmetics to slow down the aging process of human skin.
Adverse effects of Molecule C60
Molecule C60 has many adverse effects on your body. They localize in the liver, and lungs of humans and cannot be excreted easily. Toxic actions can cause lung fibrosis, liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis, and cancer. It can cause DNA damage. It can cause coagulation and inflammation in various body areas that can cause severe damage to other organs. It can also have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system.
