Therapeutic Malonic Acid/Acetic Acid C60 Tri-Adducts of Buckminsterfullerene and Methods Related Thereto

摘要

Disclosed and claimed herein are e,e,e malonic acid/acetic acid tri-adduct of buckminsterfullerene of the general formula C₆₀R₃, wherein each R is independently selected from groups of the formula -CR¹R² wherein each R¹ and R² is independently selected from the group consisting of -H and -COOH, provided, however, that at least one of the R¹'s and R²'s is a hydrogen. Processes for preparing and uses of the same for treating neuronal injury and for life-extension are also disclosed and claimed herein.
