A series of cationic porphyrins, and analogues such as cationic corroles and phthalocyanines were found to have biological activities towards topoisomerases I and II in vitro. Cationic porphyrins and phthalocyanines do not induce Topo I–DNA covalent complexes but inhibit topoisomerase I by direct binding to DNA, which limits topoisomerase I access to the DNA substrate. The lowest concentration where an inhibition effect is clearly visible of some derivatives is between 0.1 and 0.6 μ M . Furthermore, some complexes were found to inhibit the activity of the topoisomerase II.
