*Experiment was performed without ambient light (in dark).

IC50-pro, compound concentration required to inhibit 50% of a reaction or binding; CC50: the concentration of compound at which 50% cells are viable; EC50 and EC90: the effective concentration of a drug at which virus production is reduced by 50% or 90%, respectively.

TI#, therapeutic index defined as CC50/EC50.
