The cytotoxicity and antibacterial activity of Tetrakis-[(4-methoxy)-phthalocyaninato] Zn(II) were assayed by micro-dilution bioassay and the disc diffusion method against bacterial and fungal strains. All bacterial strains were particularly sensitive to the ZnPc with low MICs values ranging from 1 to 2 mg/mL and less active against the four Candida species tested with a diameter of growth inhibition about 6 mm and a MICs values ranging from 1 to 4 mg/mL. The percent of cell viability was evaluated on HEp-2 cells using the MTT salt reduction assay. The tested compound has no toxicity in HEp-2 cells (CC50>1000 μg. mL-1) and appears to be a promising antimicrobial agent.
