Materials at the nanoscale exhibit specific physicochemical interactions with their
environment. Therefore, evaluating their toxic potential is a primary requirement for …

Background The balance between oxidation and anti-oxidation is believed to be critical in
maintaining healthy biological systems. However, our endogenous antioxidant defense …

We formulated and analyzed a novel nanoformulation of the anticancer drug cisplatin (Cis)
with C 60 fullerene (C 60+ Cis complex) and showed its higher toxicity toward tumor cell …

Carbon fullerenes are emerging as effective devices for different biomedical applications,
including the transportation of nanosized drugs and extraction of harmful oxidants and …

The review discusses prospects for the use of fullerenes and their various functionalised
adducts: polyhydroxylated fullerenes (fullerenols), carboxylated fullerenes, adducts with …

This paper reviews our current understanding of how fullerene molecules interact with
biological membranes. First, we discuss how fullerenes permeate into biological …

Phthalocyanines are aromatic macrocyclic compounds, which are structurally related to
porphyrins. In clinical practice, phthalocyanines are used in fluorescence imaging and …

An inevitable consequence of the growth of applications and corresponding production of
fullerenes is the accumulation of these molecules in natural aquatic environments and …

Fullerene C 60 sub-colloidal particle with diameter∼ 1 nm represents a boundary case
between small and large hydrophobic solutes on the length scale of hydrophobic hydration …

Classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations combined with docking calculations,
potential of mean force estimates with the umbrella sampling method, and molecular …
