The invention relates to a formulation for the delayed and controlled delivery of an adsorbent into the lower intestine of mammals. The formulation includes a carrageenan and an adsorbent, such as activated charcoal. The invention further relates to uses of this formulation, in particular to pharmaceutical uses. In one embodiment, the formulation is used to eliminate or reduce the side effects in the intestine, in particular in the colon, of pharmaceutical agents that are administered as a treatment for a disorder, but that have side effects when they reach the late ileum, the caecum or the colon.

A method for synthesizing a medicinal, nutraceutical, or food fullerene composition, including providing anisotropy in polar and non-polar C60 fullerene hemispheres to create one face of C60 fullerene having a small number of OH-groups clustered to the polar face; providing an amount of a polyhydroxylated fullerene from C60 fullerene; and blending the amount of the polyhydroxylated fullerene with an acceptable ionomer or an acceptable carrier or both. The polyhydroxylated fullerene includes fullerol-'x′ and the amount includes 200 ppm or 500 ppm, wherein ‘x’ is less than 22. The acceptable ionomer includes honey, or a mixture of 3% by wt. sucrose, 1% by wt. proline, 0.2% by wt. magnesium citrate, and 1% by wt. beta-cyclodextrin. The acceptable carrier includes water or a gelatin. A stent, a medical bandage, medical packing material, medical drainage material, acupuncture support, topical ointment, or suture material is impregnated with an anisotropic polyhydroxylated fullerene for antimicrobial action.

Provided herein are compositions, systems, kits, and methods for treating a subject with a disease or condition by administering a composition comprising fullerenes to the subject such that H2S is generated in said subject. In certain embodiments, the disease or condition is associated with inflammation and/or below normal H2S levels. In certain embodiments, the fullerenes are polyhydroxy fullerenes (PHFs).

A composition to treat epidermal insults may have an ungraphenated detonation synthesis nanodiamonds (UDSND) and medical grade Siberian Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil (SBB) composition in a blended uniform composition with 1% hydrocortisone cream; wherein the UDSND are at 2 nm to 4 nm in initial crystal size and in the range of 0.2% to 0.5% of the UDSND-SBB composition weight and the SBB which is 99.5% to 99.8% of the UDSND-SBB composition weight; and wherein total composition ratio is in the range of about 3:1 to 10:1 hydrocortisone cream to UDSND-SBB composition. Preferably, the total composition ratio can be about 6:1 hydrocortisone cream to UDSND-SBB composition.

Implementations set forth herein relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses associated with fullerene-containing materials. In some implementations, a fullerene-containing material is disposed over a substrate of a smoke-able product in order to inhibit an allergic response (e.g., coughing) from a user who smokes or otherwise ingests the smoke-able product. Various fullerene-containing materials can be generated using a carbon substance that undergoes one or more process operations in order for fullerene molecules to be available for inclusion in the various materials. In some implementations, one or more other fullerene-containing materials can be generated through an at least partially organic process of feeding a particular plant a fullerene-containing plant food.

Provided is a carbon quantum dot having a graphite core and a surface including components, such as compounds derived from formula (I) and halogens, and having a positive charge for antibacterial purposes. Also provided are methods for preparing a carbon quantum dot and a composition containing the same.
