  • Title: New photoantimicrobial films composed of porphyrinated lipophilic cellulose esters.
    Author: Krouit M, Granet R, Branland P, Verneuil B, Krausz P.
    Journal: Bioorg Med Chem Lett; 2006 Mar 15; 16(6):1651-5. PubMed ID: 16377183.
    Abstract:
    Porphyrinated cellulose laurate esters have been prepared in homogeneous DMA/LiCl medium by "one-pot, two-step" reactions starting from cellulose, protoporphyrin IX, and lauric acid and using a TsCl/Pyridine system. The plastic films obtained after casting were shown to display photobactericidal activity against Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. This new photobactericidal polymer has potential for industrial, medical, or household applications.
