  • Biological Activity
Description Exeporfinium, also known as XF-73, is an anti-microbial which works via weakening bacteria cell walls. Exeporfinium chloride is a potential treatment for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and possibly Clostridium difficile. Exeporfinium chloride has completed a phase I clinical trial for nasal decolonisation of MRSA—being tested against 5 bacterial strains. It seems unlikely to cause MRSA to develop resistance to it. Structurally it is a dicationic porphyrin.
