Heterosexual transmission is the primary route by which women acquire human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS. Thus, development of woman-controlled topical microbicides for prevention of sexual transmission of HIV is urgently needed. Here we report that 3-hydroxyphthalic anhydride-modified chicken ovalbumin (HP-OVA) exhibits potent antiviral activity against a broad spectrum of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates with different genotypes and biotypes. Its antiviral activity is correlated with the percentages of the chemically modified and unmodified lysines and arginines in OVA. HP-OVA inhibits HIV-1 fusion and entry through multiple mechanisms of action, including (i) blocking gp120 binding to CD4 and (ii) interfering with gp41 six-helix bundle formation. Because of the widespread availability and established safety profile of OVA, HP-OVA has good potential to be developed as an effective, safe, and affordable microbicide for prevention of HIV sexual transmission.
