چکیده
Various types of lipid membrane-incorporated C60 with high C60 concentrations can be prepared easily in several hours using the C60 exchange method and the photocleaving activity of cationic lipid membrane-incorporated C60 was appreciably higher than that of the C60.gamma-CDx complex.

Location of [60]fullerene incorporation in lipid membranes.
We confirmed that most C(60) fullerene units are located in the hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer membrane in water-soluble lipid membrane incorporated C(60) (LMIC(60)) complexes using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and (13)C NMR spectra in the presence of radical labels.
متن کاملWater-soluble fullerene materials for bioapplications: photoinduced reactive oxygen species generation.
The photoinduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation from several water-soluble fullerenes was examined. Macromolecular or small molecular water-soluble fullerene complexes/derivatives were prepared and their (1)O(2) and O(2)˙(-) generation abilities were evaluated by ESR spin-trapping methods. As a result, efficient (1)O(2) generation was detected from photoexcited C(60), not only in orga...
متن کاملBiological Applications of Fullerene Derivatives: A Brief Overview
Starting soon after the production of fullerenes in 1990, many efforts have been devoted to the application of C60 and its derivatives. In fact, 60 fullerene possesses a variety of interesting biological properties, such as HIV-P inhibition, DNA photocleavage, neuroprotection, apoptosis, etc. Unfortunately, the low solubility in biological fluids limits the use of these compounds as new pharmac...
متن کاملEnergetics of water permeation through fullerene membrane.
Lipid bilayer membranes are important as fundamental structures in biology and possess characteristic water-permeability, stability, and mechanical properties. Water permeation through a lipid bilayer membrane occurs readily, and more readily at higher temperature, which is largely due to an enthalpy cost of the liquid-to-gas phase transition of water. A fullerene bilayer membrane formed by dis...
متن کاملInduction of cell death by photodynamic therapy with water-soluble lipid-membrane-incorporated [60]fullerene.
Intracellular uptake of a lipid-membrane-incorporated C(60) with a cationic surface into HeLa cells was found to induce cell death under visible light irradiation in high efficiency.
