It is found that β alanine C 60 adducts have an excellent efficiency in eliminating superoxide radical generated from auto oxidation of pyrogallol. At a mass concentration level of 150 μg/mL for β alanine C 60 adducts, the radical scavenging efficiency is approximately equivalent to one enzyme unit, in vitro experiments show that β alanine C 60 adducts can enhance the activity of mouse thymus cells and prolong their life time span. It reveals the potential use of these β alanine C 60 adducts as the novel potent free radical scavengers in biological systems.展开更多
