Sulfonated porphyrins and phthalocyanines have been shown to have anti-HIV activity and are under consideration as microbicides. Both categories of compounds are small negatively charged molecules and both were previously shown to inhibit cell fusion induced by the HIV Env protein and to block binding of gp120 to the CD4 receptor. In the present study we show that these compounds inhibit transmission of cell-associated HIV, inactivate a broad range of HIV-1 primary isolates and are active against DS polyanion-resistant virus. The compounds tested are active over a range of pH values, and possess no detectable activity against normal bacterial flora. These results support the conclusion that anionic tetrapyrroles are promising candidates as microbicides for HIV prevention.
