Abstract: The biothermochemical characteristics of the actions of two kinds of cationic lanthanide(III) monoporphyrinate complexes {[Re(TMP)(H2O)3]Cl, Re=Y, Yb, TMP=5,10,15,20 -tetrakis(4’-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin} on growth metabolism of Escherichia coli were studied by means of a LKB-2277 bioactivity monitor at 37 ℃.The maximum power, Pmax; the growth rate constant k1,k2; inhibitive ratio I(%) and half inhibition concentration cI,50 (mg•L-1),respectively, were obtained. Experimental results show that porphyrinate complexes possess the bi-directional biological effection: they stimulate the growth of the E. coli at lower concentration but inhibit the growth at higher concentration. Inhibitory effection of [Yb(TMP)(H2O)3]Cl (cI,50=143 mg•L-1) is stronger than that of [Y(TMP)(H2O)3]Cl.
