Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Median half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) curves
Description:  Intracellular dose response (EC50 values) for selected compounds against SARS-CoV-2 were determined by pre-treating Calu-3 cells for three hr with serially diluted compounds (0.064, 0.32, 1.6, 8, 40, 200, and 1000 nM), followed by SARS-CoV-2 infection for 48 hr. Viral infection was detected by staining for dsRNA or nucleocapsid signal and quantified as described above. EC50 experiments were repeated at least three times for each compound with three technical replicates in each experiment. Intracellular nucleocapsid levels were interpolated to negative control (0.1% DMSO, no infection) = 0 and positive control (0.1% DMSO, with infection) = 100. The GraphPad Prism 9 (GraphPad Software, Inc.) nonlinear regression fit modeling variable slope was used to generate a dose-response curve [Y = Bottom + (Top-Bottom)/ (1+10^((LogIC50-X)*HillSlope)], constrained to top = 100, bottom = 0.
