• ][7], nucleotides, sugars and steroids [8][9], have allowed the solubilization of these hybrid derivatives in aqueous media, thus enhancing certain biological activities. For the potential use of C60 derivatives as drug delivery systems, the size of the particles is important. In general, fast drug

• release was observed for small particles, although these particles tended to aggregate. For this reason, a compromise between the size and the stability of dispersion is necessary in order to develop efficient systems [10]. On the other hand, androsterone [11] is an important and well-known metabolite of
