Extent of synergy or antagonism in MacSynergyII is defined according to absolute value of log volume (LV) as follows: () additive, LV <2; (+/−) minor, 2≤ LV <5; (++/−−) moderate, 5≤ LV <9; (+++/−−−) major, LV ≥9.

b

Extent of synergy and antagonism in CalcuSyn is defined as follows: (+++) major synergy, combination index (CI) ≤0.7; (++) moderate synergy, 0.7≤ CI <0.8; (+) minor synergy, 0.8≤ CI <0.9; () additive, 0.9≤ CI <1.1; (−) minor antagonism, 1.1≤ CI <1.3;(−−) moderate antagonism, 1.3≤ CI <3.0; (−−−) major antagonism, CI ≥3.0.

c

LV (95% confidence level) and CI (±SE) of combinations of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) with host-targeting agent (HTA) cyclosporin A in HCVcc-Luc.

d

LV (95% confidence level) and CIs (±SE)of combinations of previously described entry inhibitor (S)-chlorcyclizinc (CCZ) with DAAs and HTA cyclosporin A, in HCVcc-Luc. Raw luciferase values of combinations in triplicate were inputted into MacSynergyII and % inhibition values of combinations at a fixed ratio of concentration of two drugs inputted into CalcuSyn, except those exhibiting >25% toxicity. N/A, not applicable.
