The product was characterized by FT-IR, UV, ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR, MS and elemental analysis. Furthermore, the scavenging ability to superoxygen anion radical O2^·- and hydroxyl radical ^·OH was studied by chemiluminescence. It was found that cystine C60 derivative showed an excellent efficiency in eliminating superoxygen anion radical and hydroxyl radical. The 50% inhibition concentration （IC50） for superoxygen anion radical and hydroxyl radical were 0.167 and 0.008 mg/mL, respectively.展开更多

The calculated results indicate that this kind of compounds has a lower energy difference between HOMO and LUMO. It is found that the electron cloud on unoccupied frontier orbital mainly comes from the contribution of C60, while that on occupied frontier orbital mainly concentrates on the side chain. A long-lived charge-separated state may occur in the objective compounds.展开更多

The results of ultraviolet-visible （UV-Vis） spectra show that the absorption of the complex is larger than that of the ZnPc-epoxy derivative at B belt. But compared with the derivative, the absorption of the complex decreased at Q belt. The fluorescence spectra show that C60 takes role as annihilation in ZnPc-epoxy derivative. Photo-current tests show that the ZnPc-epoxy derivative-C60 film exhibits increasing photoconductive property.展开更多

Fullerene（C_（60）） is critical for scavenging oxygen free radicals originated from cell metabolism, and reduced glutathione（GSH） is another important endogenous antioxidant. In this study, a novel water-soluble reduced glutathione fullerene derivative（C_（60）-GSH） was successfully synthesized, and its beneficial roles in protecting against H_2O_2-induced oxidative stress and apoptosis in cultured HEK 293 T cells were investigated. Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance were used to confirm the chemical structure of C_（60）-GSH. Our results demonstrated that C_（60）-GSH prevented the reactive oxygen species（ROS）-mediated cell damage. Additionally, C_（60）-GSH pretreatment significantly attenuated H_2O_2-induced superoxide dismutase（SOD） consumption and malondialdehyde（MDA） elevation. Furthermore, C_（60）-GSH inhibited intracellular calcium mobilization, and subsequent cell apoptosis via bcl-2/bax-caspase-3 signaling pathway induced by H_2O_2 stimulation in HEK 293 T cells. Importantly, these protective effects of C_（60）-GSH were superior to those of GSH. In conclusion, these results suggested that C_（60）-GSH has potential to protect against H_2O_2-induced cell apoptosis by scavenging free radicals and maintaining intracellular calcium homeostasis without evident toxicity.展开更多

The products were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. The antioxidant activity of these C 60 adducts as the quencher for superoxide anion radical O -· 2 was evaluated by chemiluminescence in the system of pyrogallol-luminol. The results indicate that the three C 60 derivatives are all excellent quencher for superoxide anion radical O -· 2. The concentrations of 50% inhibition are 252, 140, 112 μmol/L respectively. This high efficiency should be attributed to many factors such as the numbers of remaining double bonds, donor effect of amino group and steric effect. However, the above results also suggest the effect of the adducted β-alanine groups is predominated in this system.展开更多

Its fluorescence intensity is three times stronger than that of C60. Its singlet energy was estimated to be 25 kJ/mol lower than that of C60. The fluorescence lifetime was determined to be 2.1+0.3 ns by using the frequency domain method. The fluorescence quenching by concentration and aromatic electron donor: N, N-dimethyl aniline (DMA) was investigated. Data show that its fluorescence could not be quenched by DMA.展开更多
