In 1985, the serendipitous discovery of fullerene triggered the research of carbon structures
into the world of symmetric nanomaterials. Consequently, Robert F. Curl, Harold W. Kroto …

Background: C60-fullerenes (CFs) constitute a carbon-allotropic family with cage-like fused-
ring structure, comprising of 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons. Since discovery in 1985, CFs …

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 …

Among metal-based nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are particularly appealing
because of their stability, functionality, and documented antimicrobial properties. AgNPs …

The self-organization of C 60 fullerene and cisplatin in aqueous solution was investigated
using the computer simulation, dynamic light scattering and atomic force microscopy …

A herbal alkaloid Berberine (Ber), used for centuries in Ayurvedic, Chinese, Middle-Eastern,
and native American folk medicines, is nowadays proved to function as a safe anticancer …

The ability of carbon-based nanomaterials (CNM) to interact with a variety of pharmaceutical
drugs can be exploited in many applications. In particular, they have been studied both as …

Abstract Cisplatin (Cis-Pt) is the cytotoxic agent widely used against tumors of various origin,
but its therapeutic efficiency is substantially limited by a non-selective effect and high toxicity …

The treatment of brain cancer like glioblastoma multiforme often uses chemotherapeutic
drugs like temozolomide, procarbazine, carmustine, and lomustine. Fullerene loaded with …

C 60 fullerene is reported to directly interact with biomolecules, such as aromatic mutagens
or anticancer drugs. Therefore, it is extensively studied for its potential application in the …
