To date, various Fullerene properties have been put to use, such as its ability to eliminate radicals and its particular molecular structure. Studies have found it to be effective in the suppression of metastases, the treatment of cerebral conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, HIV treatment, and Type-C hepatitis therapy. Recently, a drug-developing venture business has succeeded in licensing to a major pharmaceutical company a potential Fullerene drug for the treatment of cerebral conditions.

Beginning with its discovery, scientists have searched for naturally occurring Fullerene, and have since found evidence for the existence since ancient times of trace amounts of Fullerene in nature. Recent studies have found that the molecule is contained in shungite, a graphite-silicate rock found in the Karelian, Republic of Russia, traditionally known for its healing properties, as well as in high-quality ink produced in Weizhou, China, and, in a more familiar example, in candle soot. Fullerene is ... present in space, where it acts to reduce hazardous ultraviolet radiation.
