Sample Extract -
Today, hydrated C60 fullerene is the most effective radioprotector as compared to all other known radioprotectors in the world, for example, Amifostine (USA) and some substances based on fullerene C60 supposedly being developed now in Japan, USA and other countries. As compared to any of them, hydrated fullerene C60 is at least (!) 100 times more effective and completely harmless, irrespective of the duration of its application, without any risk of undesirable side effects and overdosage.

But all I can conclude from that blog post is
1. A company in the Ukraine that sells hydrated Fullerene claims that it is protective against radiation damage
2. Said company sent a letter to some agency head in Japan offering to supply (sell?) said hydrated fullerene to exposed workers.
I highly doubt any Japanese government entity promoted the use of hydrated fullerene for radiation exposure

At the present time, we have initiated the procedure of registering this product in Russia. We are also aware that developments with respect to the use of fullerenes, and those that are somewhat similar to ours, are also taking place in Japan and another countries. However, all of them are still far from completion and their application in terms of public health services.
In the capacity of emergency aid, we would like to provide you with 10,000 complimentary packages (5 tons) of our product.
I found it interesting that there are "developments" in various forms of C60 in other countries. I wonder what all is going on, aside from Grigoriy Andrievsky's hydrated fullerene in Ukraine, and presumably soon to be Russia. Are any of those c60-oo?
Also note that they are donating the material. It's certainly good publicity for them.

Looking at the abstract--
The suppressing influence of C(60)HyFn on the formation of OH-radicals in water exposed to X-rays at doses of 1-7 Gy was assessed by determination of oxidation levels of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid. C(60)HyFn demonstrates apparent antiradical activity in vitro in the range of concentrations of 10(-11)-10(-6) M. Paradoxically, the .OH-removing efficacy of C(60)HyFn was in reverse correlation with fullerene concentration...
The second part of the present study was aimed to evaluate the overall radioprotective efficacy of C(60)HyFn in doses of 0.1 or 1 mg/kg b.w. injected intraperitoneally to mice either 1 h before or 15 min after lethal dose exposure of the X-ray (7 Gy) irradiation. Survival rate of the mice was observed at 30 day intervals after irradiation, while the weight gains of experimental animals were monitored as well. The most significant protective effect was demonstrated when 1 mg/kg dosage of C(60)HyFn was administered before irradiation. The outcome of the substance testing is 15% survival rate of irradiated animals at 30 days of observation, and prevention of noticeable weight loss characteristic for radiation impact, versus unprotected control animals.
Which all seems less than exciting for 15% survival. And the 1mg/kg dosage is terribly expensive, right? For a two hundred pound man, this would be 91 mg. So how much would this cost?

"Paradoxically, the .OH-removing efficacy of C(60)HyFn was in reverse correlation with fullerene concentration..."
What does that mean?

I see once source selling a "concentrated solution" of hydrated fullerenes--"10 ml C60FWS, containing fullerene С60 in the concentrations: 14.4 mg/l (20 µM/l)" for $450.
This amounts to 0.144 mg at $3,125/mg. The cost to radio-protect one 200 pound man (to a 15% survival level) would then be $284,000.

i thought people on this forum buy their c60 from elsewhere for much cheaper. why give such expensive source
