- Description
- Asymmetric mono-carboxy-porphyrins, (5-(4-carboxyphenyl)10,15, 20-tris(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrinato zinc(II) (1), 5-(4- carboxyphenyl)10,15,20-triphenylporphyrinato zinc(II) (2) and 5-(4- carboxyphenyl)10,15,20-tris(2-thienyl)porphyrinato zinc(II) (3), were linked to Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) through amide bonds and selfassembly (the latter only for 3). The porphyrins and conjugates were used for photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) against Staphylococcus aureus. PACT uses singlet oxygen for antimicrobial activity. Complex 3 and its conjugates had higher singlet oxygen quantum yields and higher log reduction when compared with the rest of the porphyrins and corresponding conjugates. These high log reductions for 3 and its conjugate were attributed to the presence of sulfur groups whereby there was more interaction with the bacterial membrane.
