The unique electrical and structural features of fullerenes and similar carbon-based derivatives make them great candidates for multiple functionalization, which has led to their expanding importance in biology and medicine. Recent advances have bolstered hopes that many of the planned fullerene uses may soon be implemented in a variety of fields, including the information technology (IT), diagnostics, pharmaceutical, environmental, and energy sectors. Now that fullerene and its derivatives may be applied directly to biological targets, they show promise as therapeutic agents. The special chemical and physical features of the fullerene core, such as its photodynamic capabilities, are the primary reason for this interest. Recent advances in fullerene derivatives are discussed in the context of their many chemical, physical, and biological functions. In addition to describing fullerenes, this research also delves into their therapeutic applications.
