The self-ordering of C60  fullerene, doxorubicin and their mixture precipitated from aqueous solutions was investigated using atomic-force microscopy. The results suggest the complexation between the two compounds. The genotoxicity of doxorubicin in complex with C60  fullerene (С60+Dox) was evaluated in vitro with comet assay using human lymphocytes. The obtained results show that the C60  fullerene prevents the toxic effect of Dox in normal cells and, thus, С60+Dox complex might be proposed for biomedical application.
