Figure Lengend Snippet: Individual tested antiviral compounds. BHK-F-Rep cells treated with ( A ) Remdesivir, ( B ) GC376, ( C ) Nirmatrelvir, and ( D ) Amodiaquine for 96 hours and analyzed by flow cytometry for GFP expression as shown in . Relative inhibition was calculated by the median intensity of GFP expression in the cells treated with antiviral drugs or DMSO in comparison to mock control. In addition, IC50 values and CC50 values were calculated as explained in the methods and represented on the individual graphs. ( A–C ) Remdesivir, GC376, and Nirmatrelvir showed effective antiviral dose-response with IC50 values < 1 µM, at concentrations lower than the cytotoxic concentrations ( D ) Amodiaquine alone did not show any inhibitory effect at the concentrations that already affected the cell growth The black line in the graphs represents the mean value of the data collected from three independent experiments, and the gray area represents standard error of the mean.
Article Snippet: Importantly, the 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) values of these compounds were 99.1 µM for Remdesivir and beyond the highest concentration used (200 µM) for GC376 and Nirmatrelvir ( ; ).
