Significance Of Molecule C60 in Medicine Science or are there any  Relevant Ayurvedic Herbs?

Abstract

The C60 molecules contain 60 atoms of the carbon and C60 is a potent antioxidant which fights ageing signs and free radicals. The C60 molecule looks like a soccer ball and is the third carbon allotrope. Fullerene and its derivatives have enormous potential in materials science owing to their chemical and physical properties. The C60 molecule and its derivatives have a great potential in materials science due to their unique physicochemical properties.The most unique property of fullerenes is the ability to assume the different forms and to engage the compounds. Let’s discuss in detail about the C60 molecule.

Introduction

The C60 molecules are spherical carbon molecules consisting of the conjugated p orbitals, which are beneficial in photocatalytic processes and photon energy conversion due to their superior electron conductivity. The C 60 molecule is based on nano-structures including nanosheets, nanorods, nanotubes and has attracted unique attention in the nanotechnology and nanoscience fields. Their different optical, electrical, chemical and physical properties allowed their application as the added components of improved or new materials and devices leading to advancement in industry, science and engineering. The parent fullerene is made of five-membered rings and six-membered rings and the five membered rings are necessary to cause curvature hence leading to perfect spherical structure.

Benefits of C60 Molecule:

C60 molecule is very good in health conditions like: Inflammatory conditions, joint pain and arthritis etc.

Useful in diabetes:

C60 molecule results as nephroprotective and neuroprotective in diabetes.

Muscle relaxant:

In the diseases related to the heart, neurodegenerative and muscular degenerative C60 molecules are very effective to manage the condition.

Side Effects of C60 molecule:

According to the Paris Baati study the C60 molecule was found to be non- toxic in the scientific studies on test rats at 10,000 times at a normal dosage. Whether it is possible to feel overly stimulated by taking more C60 than is necessary, studies using the whole molecules of C60 dissolved in oil have demonstrated no danger for animal or human consumption.
