In this work is to porphyrin free base, cationic, meso-tetrapyridylporphyrin, TMPyP,and porphyrin metal, anion, zinc (II)-meso-Tetrakis (4-sulfonatophenyl), ZnTPPS4, in order to assess its possible applications in photodynamic therapy (PDT). For both, were investigated by molecular spectroscopy and UV-Vis, some properties of these porphyrins, such as interaction with biomimetic models, the ability to aggregate in different proportions water/ethanol, the photo-bleaching before lighting the red LEDs and generation of singlet oxygen through the test of uric acid. Microbiological tests were also conducted with Artemia salina and the bacterium Escherichia coli, to assess the in vitro photodynamic action on these microorganisms. The spectral behavior of porphyrin ZnTPPS4 was estimated to be varying the pH of the solution of porphyrin in aqueous medium and acetate/phosphate in the presence and absence of surfactant SDS (anion), CTAB (cationic) and HPS (zwiterionic). Through this analysis, we found that the porphyrin spectral change due to changes in pH, occurred at pHs lower when the porphyrin found himself in the presence of surfactants CTAB and HPS, indicating that there was interaction between porphyrin/ micelle surfactant, mediated by hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. The ability of aggregation was evaluated by adding the solution of the porphyrin mixtures water/ethanol in different proportions in order to analyze the spectral behavior of both porphyrins with the increase of water content. Through this analysis it was found the displacement of the Soret band for a wavelength smaller, and the decrease in absorbance intensity of the condition of 100% water, a fact that may be related to different coefficients of molar absorptivity of porphyrins in solvents used. The photobleaching was putting itself and ethanol aqueous solutions of porphyrin under lighting of LEDs red during a total period of 1 hour, and showed that both porphyrins do not fall apart before the light source used. As the generation of singlet oxygen conducted through the test of uric acid, found that the generation of this species is better in water than ethanol, probably because there is more molecular oxygen dissolved in the first solvent. The porphyrin TMPyP showed increased photodynamic activity (PA) that ZnTPPS4, due to higher absorption in the range of issuing LEDs employees. Regarding microbiological tests found that the highest viewing on A. salina mortality occurs in the presence of porphyrin and under illumination, indicating photodynamic action of porphyrins on the microorganism. The testing done with E. coli, it is further inhibit the growth of this microorganism colonies where they were treated with porphyrins and light, compared with the controls: I) under light and without porphyrin; II) in the presence of porphyrin and no light; III) in the absence of light and porphyrin.
