Abstract: | The antibacterial effect of Zn(II), tetraphenyl porphyrin (TPP), propdioxyl bridged tetraphenyl bisporphyrin 1, and its metallobisporphyrin complexes (ZnMnbisporphyrin 2 and ZnZnbisporphyrin 3) towards Staphylococcus aureus growth was investigated by microcalorimetry at 37°C. Differences in their capacities to inhibit the growth metabolism of S. aureus were observed. By analyzing the power–time curves, crucial parameters such as the rate constant of bacterial growth (k), inhibitory ratio (I), and generation time (t G) were determined. The growth rate constant (k) of S. aureus (in the log phase) in the presence of the drugs decreased linearly with increasing concentrations of the complexes. The sequence of the antibacterial activities of these compounds tested was 3 > 2 > 1 > Zn(II) > TPP. ZnZnbisporphyrin 3 is proposed to benefit from the synergetic effects of Zn(II) and 1. |
