Currently, only few antiviral drugs of proven effectiveness exist against virus of the Herpesviridae family and viral resistance to these drugs, especially in the immunocompromised hosts, has encouraged research for new drugs. Some porphyrin derivatives revealed a significant antiviral activity against HSV-1 virus. However the cellular target of the porphyrin derivatives in the virus-cell complex remains unknown.
