Photodynamic Studies and Photoinactivation of Escherichia coli Using meso‐Substituted Cationic Porphyrin Derivatives with Asymmetric Charge Distribution

Abstract: The photodynamic activities of novel asymmetrically meso substituted cationic porphyrins, 5,10‐di(4‐methylphenyl)‐ 15,20‐di(4‐trimethylammoniumphenyl)porphyrin iodide 1 and 5‐(4‐trifluorophenyl)‐10,15,20‐tris(4‐trimethylammoniumphenyl)porphyrin iodide 2 and its metal complex with Pd(II) 3, have been investigated in both homogeneous medium bearing photooxidizable substrates and in vitro on a typical gram‐negative bacterium Escherichia coli. The amphiphilic character of porphyrin 2 was increased by the presence … Show more

“…Vegetative cells are, as expected, much more responsive to PDI than endospores. PDI of gram positive bacteria with cationic and neutral porphyrin derivatives has already been demonstrated (Hamblin and Hasan 2004;Lazzeri et al 2004;Caminos et al 2005;Demidova and Hamblin 2005b). In our experiments, Tri-Py + -Me-COOH caused the strongest inactivation (reduction of 6AE5 log units).…”

“…Cationic porphyrins are usually more efficient against bacteria than neutral molecules because of an improved interaction with their rather impermeable outer membrane and cell wall (Merchat et al 1996;Lazzeri et al 2004;Caminos et al 2005;Demidova and Hamblin 2005b). However, it is also recognized that the relationship with the charge of the molecule is not always linear (Carvalho et al 2007;Costa et al 2008).…”

“…The presence of one or more positively charged groups plays an essential role in driving the PS toward sites that are critical for the stability of cell organization and ⁄ or the cell functions (34,51,52). In fact, several studies demonstrate a high rate of bacterial inactivation with tri-and tetracationic porphyrinic PS compared with di-and monocationic molecules (31,52).…”

“…Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an alternative approach to conventional antimicrobial therapies, which exploits the presence of a photosensitizer (PS), O 2 and visible light to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), thus inducing lethal oxidative damages in the microbial pathogens (1). Differently structured PS shows a variable degree of phototoxic efficiency according to the cell wall organization of bacteria: the presence of the outer membrane makes Gram-negative bacteria more resistant than Gram-positive bacteria to photoeradication (2).…”
