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 -CR<1>R<2 >wherein each R<1 >and R<2 >is independently selected from the group consisting of -H and -COOH, provided, however, that at least one of the R<1>'s and R<2>'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.
