- Description
- Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) is employed against multi drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus using porphyrins combined with silver nanoparticles to bring about a combined photodynamic effect. We employ Zn-meso-5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl) (1), Zn-meso-5,10,15,20-tetrathienyl (2), and Zn-meso-5-(4- hydroxyphenyl)- 10,15,20-tris(2-thienyl)(3) porphyrins and their self-assembled conjugates with silver nanoparticles for PACT against Staphylococcus aureus. Complex 3 with nanoparticles was found to perform better resulting in 0% bacterial viability at 60 min.
