Eleven new functional derivatives of C-60 have been tested for anti-HI
V activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells infected with HIV-1(L
AV). Nine compounds displayed activity in the low micromolar range (EC
(50)), three of them lower than any fullerene derivative reported to d
ate. With one exception, these compounds displayed no cytotoxicity up
to 100 mu M. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
