Interestingly, the cellular distribution was analyzed by energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy and electron tomography, demonstrating the presence of free fullerene in the cytoplasm, or associated with nuclear membrane, plasma membrane, lysosomes and, rather surprisingly, with the nucleus (Porter et al., 2006, 2007).

Figure 9 Effect of cyclosporin A on the brain (A) and plasma (B) concentration of nC verapamil in healthy volunteers. (A) 1 -Verapamil ( 0.2 mCi/kg) was administered to healthy volunteers intravenously, approximately one minute before and after one-hour infusion of cyclosporin A (2.5 mg/kg/h). (B) PET images of a normal human brain after nC-verapamil administration in the absence or presence of cyclosporin A. Images shown are in SUV summed over a period of 5 to 25 minutes, which is an index of regional radioactivity uptake normalized to the administered dose and weight of the subject. Abbreviations PET, positron emission tomography SUV, standardized uptake value. Source From Ref. 218.
