Nootropic fullerenes and use

Abstract

A dual neurotransmitter nanoparticle composition is provided to store and transport protons and cations across neural cell membranes. This composition mitigates cognitive deficits in neurological pathologies such as autism spectrum disorder and some symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, as well as to reduce the severity of aging related reactive oxygen species damage in ASD and AD brains that are caused by bioenergetic dysfunction. The antioxidant and protein oligomer disassembly properties can also be used to alleviate corneal cataracts. The composition comprises C60 fullerenes bonded to one glutathione molecule and one or more molecules of adenosine triphosphate and can be produced at low temperatures through reactive shear mixing. This composition therapeutically improves and prophylactically preserves cognitive performance, memory, and mental acuity to alleviate deficits arising from bio-electrochemical dysfunction in brain cells.
