Cerium
Active
Description
Cerium (Ce) is a rare metal that combines with oxygen to form CeO2 nanoparticles (nanoceria). Nanoceria have a highly reactive surface area for neutralization of radicals and can reversibly bind oxygen and shift oxidation states (Ce3+/Ce4+), which make them potentially useful as therapeutic antioxidants for diseases associated with oxidative stress. However, pro-oxidant effects have also been associated with nanoceria. The antioxidant versus pro-oxidant effects may depend on the biologic characteristics of different nanoceria, including method of synthesis and particle size; research in these areas is ongoing.
