Hydrated Fullerenes (C60-HyFn) attack blood clots or deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

UPDATE  Nov 2010: HYFNs have been approved for manufacturing as Fullerene Water Solution (FWS)  drink in Ukraine by the  Ministry of Health  as of Nov 2010. It's the first nanotech based health drink in the world. For information about availability  contact me privately by email.

In June 2008, Ukrainian researchers published a little noticed and rarely cited article in a Ukrainian medical journal called Medical Chemistry  ( Медична Хімія) on research done back in 2007 and earlier.

The intriguing title?  "THE ACCELERATION OF BLOOD PLASMA CLOT LYSIS IN THE PRESENCE OF  HYDRATED C60 FULLERENE NANOSTRUCTURES."

Summary

    Effect of hydrated fullerene C₆₀ (C₆₀HyFn) onto kinetics parameters of enzymatic hydrolysis of fibrin clot induced by tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) in vitro was studied. Incubation of t-PA in the C₆₀HyFn solution increased rate of clot lysis by 2,7 times and reduced time of half-lysis by 1,6 times. Data obtained suggest that enzyme fibrinolytic activity elevation occurs due to stabilization of enzyme water microenvironment in the presence of C₆₀HyFn. Application of fullerene C₆₀ may be useful for creation of highly efficient thrombolytical drugs.

KEY WORDS: fibrinolysis, tissue plasminogen activator, fullerene.

An English version of the research has been accepted for publication in a prestigious nanotechnology publication and is due to come out Oct 2010.
