Study of antioxidant activity of fullerenols by inhibition of adrenaline autoxidation

In this paper, we describe application of the adrenaline autoxidation reaction to determine the antioxidant activity of fullerenols $\mathrm{C}_{60}$, $\mathrm{C}_{70}$ their mixture with higher fullerenol and endohedral fullerenol $\mathrm{Y}$@$\mathrm{C}_{82}$. It was shown that the adrenaline autoxidation reaction can be applied to determine the antioxidant activity of fullerenols. The antioxidant activity of $\mathrm{C}_{70}$ fullerenol was higher than that of $\mathrm{C}_{60}$ fullerenol Additionally, the antioxidant activity of Y@$\mathrm{C}_{82}$ fullerenol was higher than that of $\mathrm{C}_{70}$ fullerenol.
