NN-DNJ | 1.25 (1.05–1.48) | 31.6 | 246 | ||
Castanospermine | Castanospermine | 36.4 (26.0–51.0) | 100 | n.d. | |
Celgosivir | 5.17 (3.69–7.24) | 100 | 7 | ||
Galactose | DGJ | NB-DGJ | n.d. | 100 | n.d. |

aEC50 is given as the estimated value with 95% confidence interval in parentheses.
bMNTD is the maximum non-toxic dose tested.
cEnhancement is the fold improvement of antiviral EC50 for the compound of interest in comparison to the parent compound (e.g. EC50 DNJ/EC50 NB-DNJ = 29).
dn.d. indicates that a value could not be determined.
