Pharmacokinetics and Toxicology of the Neuroprotective e,e,e -Methanofullerene(60)-63-tris Malonic Acid [C 3 ] in Mice and Primates
2018
Background and Objectives
Fullerene-based compounds are a novel class of molecules being developed for a variety of biomedical applications, with nearly 1000 publications in this area in the last 4 years alone. One such compound, the e,e,e-methanofullerene(60)-63-tris malonic acid (designated C3), is a potent catalytic superoxide dismutase mimetic which has shown neuroprotective efficacy in a number of animal models of neurologic disease, including Parkinsonian Macaca fascicularis monkeys. The aim of this study was to characterize its toxicity and pharmacokinetics in mice and monkeys.
