The fullerene molecule with its unique structure of 60 carbon atoms arrangedin a soccer ball structure is a molecule of great potential for a varietyof applications and has drawn attention of lots of physicists, chemists andengineers. Recently, these nanostructures have also been studied for theirbiological activities with a view towards using them for biomedical applications.One of the possible therapies for which fullerenes may have a realmedical application is the light based therapy called photodynamic therapy(PDT), which is a non-surgical, minimally invasive approach that has beenused in the treatment of solid tumors and many non-malignant diseases.
