Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of newly developed cationic amphiphilic lipids having porphyrin as head group against two types of gram-positive bacteria and three types of gram-negative bacteria. The antibacterial activity of quantitatively prepared porphyrin-based amphiphilic lipids is evaluated by the disc-diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella ...
