[ 1 ] - Microwave-assisted synthesis of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)porphyrin and zinc derivative and study of their bacterial photoinactivation

In this study, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)porphyrin (TNPP) and its zinc porphyrin complex (ZnTNPP) were synthesized in situ using the microwave method and identified by UV-Vis, FT-IR and 1H NMR. The photostability and photodynamic antimicrobial activity (PACT) of these compounds were investigated on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis under visible light irradiation. MIC, MBC an...

[ 2 ] - Preparation, characterization and Photo-inactivation of cellulose nanocrystals impregnated with meso-tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)porphyrin

In this study, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) was prepared and meso-tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)porphyrin (TNPP) was immobilized on it. The product was identified by techniques of UV-Vis, fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopy (DRS), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of an amount of a loaded porphyrin comp...
