Fullerenesas Novel Drug Carrier

Higher therapeutic efficacy of a drug molecule can be achieved by target specific carriers. Application of nanotechnology for this purpose has great scope.The presentarticle focuses on the research and development of carbon-based fullerene and carbon nanostructures. Carbon is a versatile element and can formvarious allotropes, including graphite, diamond, and fullerene-like structures.Nanomedicine of fullerene seems to be a beautiful platform to illustrate the synergetic of chemistry, biology and physics in fullerene science. The modern medicinal fullerene is a largely explored field, actively developing and enlarging.The fullerene family, and especially C60, has very appealing photo, electro, chemical and physical properties, which can be exploited in many and different biological fields.
