Abstract
Poly(ethylene glycol)-crosslinked multimeric C60 was developed for use in photothermal/photodynamic therapy of malignant cells. We showed that: (i) the tumor surface temperature on KB tumor-bearing nude mice treated with multimeric C60 reached about 44°C; (ii) this hyperthermic condition and tremendous singlet oxygen generation from multimeric C60 resulted in significant tumor volume regression in KB tumor-bearing nude mice; and (iii) multimeric C60 also efficiently inhibited arthritic progress in the arthritis-induced DBA/1J mice model. This multimeric C60 may be useful for photothermal/photodynamic cell ablation in various malignant cells.
