Abstract

Water-soluble derivatives of buckminsterfullerene (C(60)) derivatives are a unique class of compounds with potent antioxidant properties. Studies on one class of these compounds, the malonic acid C(60) derivatives (carboxyfullerenes), indicated that they are capable of eliminating both superoxide anion and H(2)O(2), and were effective inhibitors of lipid peroxidation, as well. Carboxyfullerenes demonstrated robust neuroprotection against excitotoxic, apoptotic and metabolic insults in cortical cell cultures. They were also capable of rescuing mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons from both MPP(+) and 6-hydroxydopamine-induced degeneration. Although there is limited in vivo data on these compounds to date, we have previously reported that systemic administration of the C(3) carboxyfullerene isomer delayed motor deterioration and death in a mouse model of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). Ongoing studies in other animal models of CNS disease states suggest that these novel antioxidants are potential neuroprotective agents for other neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Neuroprotective compounds based on carbon-60 fullerene have been fabricated using a nanotechnological approach.

    “Neuroprotective compounds based on carbon-60 fullerene – the molecules having a 3-D pattern of evenly spaced carbon atoms, have been fabricated by the application of nanotechnological approach (Dugan et al., 2001).”

  • Free radicals such as superoxide, hydroxyl, peroxynitrite, and peroxide cause deleterious cellular alterations including DNA fragmentation, peroxidation of cell membrane lipids, mitochondrial energy disturbances, and alteration in functionality of transporter proteins.

  • Free radicals are considered the main culprit having a key role in the pathology of neurodegenerative, ischemic, and traumatic CNS disorders.

    “they are considered as the main culprit having the key role in pathology of neurodegenerative, ischemic, and traumatic CNS disorders (Mahadik and Mukherjee, 1996; Dugan et al., 2001).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
