Fullerene C60 as a representative of carbon nanocompounds is suggested to be promising agent for application in photodynamic therapy due to its unique physicochemical properties.[4] Also Fullerene C60 nanocrystals (nano‐C60) possess various attractive bioactivities, including autophagy induction and calcium/calmodulin‐dependent protein kinase IIα (CaMKIIα) activation.

Fullerene C60 powder is useful for biomedical applications such as the design of high-performance MRI contrast agents, x-ray imaging contrast agents and photodynamic therapy. It is also essential for single-walled carbon nanotubes with narrow diameter-distribution. It is used as light-activated antimicrobial agent. It also finds application in the field of nanotechnology, heat resistance and superconductivity.

ChEBI: Fullerene C60 is a fullerene. It has a role as a geroprotector. It is a polyhedral CARBON structure composed of around 60-80 carbon atoms in pentagon and hexagon configuration. They are named after Buckminster Fuller because of structural resemblance to geodesic domes. Fullerenes can be made in high temperature such as arc discharge in an inert atmosphere.
