Figure Lengend Snippet: AZ is identified as a potential inhibitor of IAV in vitro. A, The flow chart of IAV‐luc assay. B and C, The relative inhibitory rate of on IAV‐luc infection or cell viability in A549 cells treated with candidate drugs (10 μmol/L). D, The relative cell viability in A549 cells treated with AZ (0.03125‐320 μmol/L) for 72 h. E, The relative inhibitory rate of AZ (10 μmol/L), amantadine (10 μmol/L), oseltamivir (10 μmol/L) and ribavirin (10 μmol/L) on IAV‐luc infection in A549 cells. F, The relative inhibitory rate of AZ (10 μmol/L), erythromycin (10 μmol/L), roxithromycin (10 μmol/L), midecamycin (10 μmol/L), spiramycin (10 μmol/L), acetylspiramycin (10 μmol/L), clarithromycin (10 μmol/L) and dirithromycin (10 μmol/L) on IAV‐luc infection in A549 cells. G, The relative inhibitory rate of ethanol or AZ (2.5 or 5 μmol/L) on IAV‐luc infection in HEK 293T/Hela/A549 cells. H, The relative mRNA level of NP in A549 cells treated with ethanol or AZ (2, 10, 50 μmol/L) and infected with WSN (MOI = 0.001 or 0.01) for 12 h. Solvent was treated as Ctrl. I, The dose‐dependent relative inhibitory rate of AZ on WSN/H5N1/H7N9 pseudovirus infection in A549 cells. Solvent (Ethanol, DMSO or H 2 O) was treated as control (Ctrl). All results are representative of three replicate experiments. ns, no significant, * P < .05, ** P < .01, *** P < .001, **** P < .0001
