Light‐mediated killing of pathogens by cationic photosensitisers is a promising antimicrobial approach that avoids the development of resistance inherent to the use of antimicrobials. In this study, we demonstrate that modification of different photosensitisers with the triphenylphosphonium cation yields derivatives with excellent photoantimicrobial activity against Gram‐positive bacteria (ie, Staphylococcus aureus...
The use of light‐activated triphenylphosphonium‐based antimicrobials to tackle the emerging problem of antimicrobial resistance has been proposed in this study. Chemical modification of phenalenone and perylene with triphenylphosphonium cations enhances their photoantimicrobial activity up to 107 times. Selective targeting of Gram‐positive bacteria is demonstrated.
