In conclusion, we observed that both porphyrins and phthalocyanines have substantial antiviral activity against vaccinia virus.
Porphyrins and metalloporphyrins have also been shown to have antiviral activity against HIV [ 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 ] . Previous studies indicated that some porphyrins inhibit the interaction between the virus envelope protein and its receptors [ 28 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 ] . We have shown also that porphyrins block infection by HIV-1 and that this activity appears to be a result of an interaction with the envelope protein [ 38 ] . In this regard, the compounds that were active in blocking infection by HIV-1 tended to be sulfonated compounds or other negatively charged compounds.
Other porphyrins are tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives, e.g., TPP2F is tetraphenylporphyrin with a fluoro group at the 2-position on each phenyl ring.
In the present study, we have investigated the potential of porphyrins (Por) and phthalocyanines (Pc) to prevent infection by vaccinia virus in cell culture.
