Table 2. Secondary Assay Results Summary for Six Representative Inhibitor Compounds.
The ELISA IC50 values were determined by performing the assay in duplicate for each compound, followed by normalization of data and subsequent data fitting in GraphPad with the aid of log(inhibitor) vs response (variable slope) plots and nonlinear regression fit.
The degradation of p53, as determined by the in vitro experiments with both HPV 16 and HPV 18 E6, is reported as an approximate IC50 over a concentration range.
The thermal stability result is as described in the text.
