Formation of Water-Soluble Fullerenes [C60,C70] under Ultrasonication and Antioxidant Effect
Keyword(s):
<p>The water-soluble fullerenes [C<sub>60</sub>, C<sub>70</sub>] are prepared with fullerenes [C<sub>60</sub>, C<sub>70</sub>] and a mixture of oxidants (v/v) at the ratio of 3:1 under ultrasonic condition at room temperature. The MALDI-TOF MS confirmed that the water-soluble compounds were C<sub>60</sub> and C<sub>70</sub>. The antioxidant effect of water-soluble fullerenes [C<sub>60</sub>, C<sub>70</sub>] in the PC 12 cells (Rat pheochromocytoma) line following exposure to hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) was investigated.</p>
