In the treatment of viral infectious diseases, there are dominantly fewer examples of ADCs. Recently, we developed double-warhead ADCs targeting the entry of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) into host cells. One is a small molecule CD4 mimic, which is a competitive inhibitor against the interaction between a viral envelop protein, gp120, and a primary receptor, CD4, and the other is neutralizing antibodies, which recognize the regions of gp120, exposed by its conformational change after the interaction between gp120 and CD4. The conformational changes are also triggered by the binding of gp120 and a CD4 mimic, and therefore, the ADCs show positive effects on anti-HIV-1 activity compared to the combinational use of CD4 mimics with neutralizing antibodies. Herein, we synthesized novel ADCs containing a CD4 mimic and a neutralizing antibody, KD-247, using tCAP chemistry, which is based on a site-specific modification method for IgG antibodies, and evaluated their anti-HIV-1 and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activities.

Herein, three novel D–D-<i>π</i>-A–A type dyes (TPATA, TPATC, and TPATPy) were designed and synthesized. TPATPy can efficiently produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) mainly through type I mechanism, which is beneficial for overcoming hypoxia within biofilms. Besides, introduction of pyridinium cations in TPATPy enhances the binding ability with negatively charged bacteria and biofilms through electrostatic interactions. Therefore, TPATPy not only exhibited excellent aPDT activity toward planktonic bacteria, but also destroyed mature biofilms and the embedded pathogens. Moreover, TPATPy could selectively and efficiently photo-inactivate intracellular methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA), being more potent than vancomycin. So far as we know, TPATPy should be the first example that can simultaneously eradicate intractable pathogens within biofilms and host cells.
