[70]Fullerene was dissolved in water by complexation with β-1,3-glucan using a mechanochemical high-speed vibration milling apparatus. The photodynamic activity of β-1,3-glucan-complexed C 70 was highly dependent on the expression level of dectin-1 on the cell surfaces of macrophages. The photodynamic activity increased as a result of a synergistic effect between β-1,3-glucan-complexed 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate and the C 70 complex.
