a

Results are mean synergy and antagonism volumes at 95% confidence intervals, as calculated by MacSynergy II software, for pairwise combination studies performed between BI 224436 and HIV antiviral inhibitors. Mean volumes were calculated based on a minimum of three separate experiments. Cytotoxicity assays were performed in parallel at the highest drug concentrations tested, and no increase in cytotoxicity was observed in drug combinations with BI 224436.

b

Mean synergy volumes at 95% confidence (in nM2%) are described at the following levels: >100, strong synergy; 50 to 100, moderate synergy; 25 to 50, minor amount of synergy; 25 to −25, additive; −25 to −50, minor amount of antagonism; −50 to −100, moderate antagonism; and <−100, strong antagonism.
