Alleviating the potential risk of irreversible adverse drug effects has been an important and challenging issue for the development of covalent drugs. Here we created a DNA-aptamer-type covalent drug by introducing a sulfonyl fluoride warhead at appropriate positions of the thrombin binding aptamer to create weaponized covalent drugs. We showed the de-activation of thrombin by the novel modality, followed by its re-activation by the complementary strand antidote at an arbitrary time. We envision that such on-demand reversal of covalent drugs will alleviate the major concern of potentially irreversible ADEs and accelerate the translational application of covalent aptamer drugs.
