Figure 2.
The screening results of the anti-HCV replicon assay. 1200 synthetic compounds with novel structure were screened by using the HCV subgenomic replicon-based reporter cell line (J399LM, genotype 2a). Compounds were co-cultured with cells for 48 h. The luciferase signal was read and compared to control wells without compounds. Compounds with reporter signal lower than the mean-3xSD (lower dashed line) of control wells (without compound) were considered to be active compounds and selected for further tests. Normal Huh7.5.1 cells served as the blank.
