Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Vaccine has an emerging field for preventing serious diseases as well as for preventing and curing cancers. However, conventional vaccines have limitations for further applications. It is required that the carrier vehicles for effectively delivery of vaccines. We focused on the chemically functionalized fullerene nanostructures because of their properties as anti-oxidant and carrier for DDS. We synthesized the molecular libraries of chemically functionalized fullerene derivatives and precisely tuned their nanostructures. We used the liquid-liquid interfacial precipitation method for controlling fullerene nanostrucutes. We revealed that some of the fullerene library have applied for cellular scaffolds and showed no cytotoxicity. We are further investigating their properties to apply for vaccine carrier vehicles.
