Abstract

We present radioprotective, antiglycating, and photoprotective properties of a water-soluble C60 fullerene derivative with L-arginine (C60-Arg) and composite films based on collagen containing C60-Arg. The synthesis of these materials is described. The identification of the synthesised materials was carried out using modern physicochemical methods of analysis. The physicochemical properties of aqueous solutions of C60-Arg, such as, particle size distribution, zeta potentials, distribution coefficient in the octan-1-ol–water system were measured. The computer simulation of the process of C60-Arg association in aqueous and isotonic solutions was carried out using Molecular Dynamics. Composite films based on collagen containing C60-Arg demonstrate significant improvement in mechanical properties, cell adhesion, and cell proliferation when the nano-modifier is added. This shows high potential for the use of the C60-Arg adduct in biomedicine.
