Abstract
One of the methods for treating oncological diseases is application of short-lived radionuclides. Existing risks of intoxication and radioactive contamination can be eliminated by introduction of a short-lived radon isotope into a hard strong fullerene coat. To increase the effectiveness of these drugs it is promising to introduce structural fragments of amino acids, peptides, steroid hormones, nucleic bases or heterocyclic compounds being able to accumulate exactly in tumoral but not in healthy tissues of the body. The article presents data on quantum-chemical simulation of electronic structure and thermodynamic stability of fullerenol radon-containing agents of radionuclide therapy on the example of a model cortisonefullerenol bioconjugate.
