Fullerenol dissolved in water was irradiated with a non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma. Plasma irradiation altered the fullerenol solution by introducing carbonyl groups, ether bonds, and intercalated nitrate anions. The resulting plasma-irradiated fullerenol (PF) was added in cell culture medium. PF-supplemented medium exhibited a cytotoxic effect on HeLa cells. Notably, HeLa cells cultured in the PF-added cell culture medium generated intracellular reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, such that the endocytosis of PF induced the apoptotic cell death. The cytotoxic effect inducing apoptosis was found in the PF-supplemented medium.
