An improved methodology is reported for the synthesis of new series of mesotetrakis-[aryl]-21H,23H-porphyrin derivatives 2a-h and was considered as a model to study their antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. The structures of the novel compounds were determined in 1 H and 13 C NMR, UV-Vis, and elemental analyses. Among the derivatives, compounds 2c, 2d, and 2h showed strongest radical-scavenging activity.Moreover, according to our results, compounds 2c, 2d, 2g, and 2h have very strong activity against the HepG2 hepatoma cell line, with IC 50 values from 9 to 25 μg/mL.Molecular docking was performed to investigate the binding between the most active porphyrin derivatives 2c, 2d, 2g, 2h and the two molecular targets Bcl-2 and caspase-3.Compounds 2c and 2d seem to have better affinities to both proteins than 2g and 2h.
