One of the usable ways to prevent the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated cellular injury is dietary or pharmaceutical augmentation of some free radical scavenger. Water-soluble amino-fullerene is a novel compound that behaves as a free radical scavenger with excellent biology consistent. In the present study, we have synthesized and characterized a novel cystine C60 derivative for the first time, and investigated the effects on hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress and apoptotic death in cultured rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells. PC12 cells treated with hydrogen peroxide underwent apoptotic death as determined by MTT, PI/Hoechst 33342 staining and flow cytometry analysis. These results suggested that cystine C60 derivative has the potential to prevent oxidative stress-induced cell death and has no evident toxicity.展开更多
