Abstract

Antimicrobial activity of 5, 10, 15, 20- meso-tetrakis pentafluorophenyl 21H, 23H- porphine (1) was investigated using the agar well diffusion and Poison plate methods. Compound (1) was shown to be both antibacterial and antifungal with a higher degree of selectivity for S. aureus and C. albicans versus E. coli
