Endohedral metallofullerene compounds, which in water has a relaxivity of about 30 mMSto about 300 mMSand forms a dispersion in water with entities having an average hydrodynamic radius of less than about 20 nm.

Metallofullerene contrast agents

Described herein are methods for treating inflammatory disorders. The methods comprise administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a synthetically modified fullerene.

Fullerene therapies for inflammation

Described herein are synthetically modified fullerene molecules, wherein the fullerene is preferably ellipsoid in shape with an equatorial band and two opposing poles, comprising an adduct at one or both poles, at least one adduct being a hydrophobic chemical moiety capable of anchoring the fullerene on or in a lipid membrane.
