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.
