The most common fullerene member C-60 displays many biological applications, such as, anticancer, human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus inhibitors, O-2 uptake inhibitor and vectors for drug and DNA. Nevertheless, the innate hydrophobicity of C-60 constrains its further development. We introduced cyclodextrins to enhance the water-solubility of C-60. Nine cyclodextrin-C-60 conjugates, including seven alpha-cyclodextrin-C-60 conjugates and two gamma-cyclodextrin-C-60 conjugates, were designed and synthesized. All of these conjugates did not show obvious cytotoxicity. The anti-influenza virus activity of nine conjugates was assessed. Two gamma-cyclodextrin-C-60 conjugates, which were relatively more water-soluble, exerted higher inhibition with IC50 values of 87.73 mu M and 75.06 mu M respectively, than seven tx-cyclodextrin-C-60 conjugates.
