| Description: | The in vitro antiviral activity of the compounds was determined using a cell-based antiviral assay. In this assay, the cytopathic effect (CPE) in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells infected by influenza virus A/Taiwan/1/86 (H1N1) was monitored in the presence or absence of the compounds. White 384-well microtiter assay plates (Greiner) were filled via acoustic drop ejection using the echo liquid handler (Labcyte, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Two hundred nanoliter of compound stock solutions (100% DMSO) were transferred to the assay plates. MDCK cells were dispensed to the plate at final density of 25,000 or 6,000 cells/well. Then Influenza A/Taiwan/1/86 (H1N1) virus was added at a multiplicity of infection of 0.001 or 0.01, respectively. The wells contain 0.5% DMSO per volume. Virus- and mock-infected controls were included in each test. The plates were incubated at 37° C. in 5% CO2. Three days post-virus exposure, the cytopathic effect was quantified by measuring the reduction in ATP levels using the ATPlite kit (PerkinElmer, Zaventem, Belgium) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The IC50 was defined as the 50% inhibitory concentration. In parallel, compounds were incubated for three days in white 384-well microtiter plates and the in vitro cytotoxicity of compounds in MDCK cells was determined by measuring the ATP content of the cells using the ATPlite kit (PerkinElmer, Zaventem, Belgium) according to the manufacturer's instructions. |
