Combination effects of disulfonate inhibitors and sulfated CCR5 Nt(2–18)
Inhibitor | Combination ratioa |
Dose reduction index (DRI) |
Combination index (CI)b | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Inhibitor: Nt(2–18) |
Inhibitor | Nt(2–18) | ||
11d | 1:10 | 1.3 ± 0.4 | 1.3 ± 0.4 | 2.3 |
11i | 1:10 | 1.2 ± 0.4 | 1.7 ± 0.5 | 1.9 |
11j | 1:10 | 1.2 ± 0.4 | 1.1 ± 0.3 | 2.5 |
The ratio of inhibitor concentrations approximates the ratio of the IC50 values of the inhibitors alone.
The CI represents the combined effect of two inhibitors in combination where CI values <1, 1 and >1 correspond to synergistic, additive and antagonistic effects, respectively.
