Assay Method Information

Assay Name:   Viral Cytopathic Effect (CPE) Assay
Description:  To measure anti-RSV activity of compounds, 96-well plates are seeded with 6×103 cells per well in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells are infected the next day with sufficient RSV Long strain (ATCC) to produce an approximately 80-90% cytopathic effect after 6 days, in the presence of serial half-log diluted compound in a total volume of 200 μA per well. The viability of cells is assessed after 6 days using Cell Counting kit-8 (Dojindo Molecular Technologies). The absorbance at 450 nm and referenced at 630 nm is measured to determine 50% effective concentration (EC50)The compounds of the present invention were tested for their anti-RSV activity, and the activation as described herein. The Examples were tested in the above assay and found to have EC50 of about 0.0001 μM to about 10 μM. Particular compound of formula (I) were found to have EC50 of about 0.0001 μM to about 1 μM. Further particular compound of formula (I) were found to have EC50 of about 0.0001 μM to about 0.1 μM.
