21. HIV inhibition assay. A serial diluted drug (10 lM, 1 lM,
100 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, and 0.1 nM), was tested against
100 TCID50 HIVADA infection in a pseudovirus-based
assay. The assay quantifies the activity of a drug to inhibit
HIV-induced reporter luciferase activity. The viral infec-
tion was determined on day 3 by measuring the reporter
luciferase activity in TZM. CD4+. CCR5+ cells post-
infection using commercially available kits. Antiviral data
were reported as the quantity of drug required to inhibit
production by percentage. Controls include (1) infected
cells without adding any drugs as a baseline, (2) pseudo-
virus with non-specific envelope (e.g., HCV) which cannot
infect TZM. CD4+. CCR5+ cells, and (3) an HIV-specific
RT inhibitor as a positive control (e.g. AZT). The cell
toxicity of the compounds against HIV was evaluated by
similar microtiter assays with TZM. CD4+. CCR5+ and
Vero cells. Serial diluted drugs (10 mM, 1 mM, 100 lM,
10 lM, 1 lM and 0.1 lM) were tested in cells using the cell
viability assay which is commercially available (Promega).
The toxicity data are reported as the quantity of a drug
required to reduce cell viability by percentage.
