The biological applications of noncationic porphyrin-fullerene (P-F) dyads as anti-HIV agents have been limited despite the established use of several cationic P-F dyads as anti-cancer photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents. This article explores the potential of amphiphilic non-cationic porphyrin-fullerene dyads as HIV-1 inhibitors under both PDT (light-treated) and non-PDT (dark) conditions. The amphiphilic P-F dyads, PBC and PBC, demonstrated enhanced efficacy in inhibiting the entry and production of HIV-1 (subtypes B and C).

: The global AIDS pandemic highlights the urgent need for novel antiretroviral therapies (ART). In our previous work, Zinc C295 was identified as a potent HIV-1 integrase strand transfer (ST) inhibitor. This study explores its potential to also inhibit 3'-processing (3'P), thereby establishing its dual-targeting capability.

We investigated whether the maximum residual levels of trimethoprim permitted in food (Acceptable Daily Intake-ADI) could select for de novo trimethoprim resistance in in vivo. We designed chronic infection models of in and exposed them to sub-ADI doses of trimethoprim through a single-dosing regimen. The emergence of trimethoprim resistance was determined by isolating the target bacteria on selective agar plates, followed by species confirmation using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.

In order to enhance the anti-HIV-1 potency and selectivity of the previously reported compound 3 (EC = 27 nM, SI = 1361), a series of novel biphenyl-diarylpyrimidine derivatives were developed by employing structure-based drug design strategy. Among these derivatives, compound M44 demonstrated the most potent inhibitory activity against wild-type (WT) HIV-1 as well as five drug-resistant mutants (EC = 5-148 nM), which were 5-173 times more potent than that of 3 (EC = 27-9810 nM). Furthermore, this analogue exhibited approximately 11-fold lower cytotoxicity (CC = 54 μM) than that of etravirine and rilpivirine.
