Antiviral activity against HCV genotype 1b Con1 infected in human HuH7 cells assessed as inhibition of viral RNA replication after 3 days by renilla luciferase reporter gene assay Hepatitis C virus (isolate Con1) 0.007 nM
Antiviral activity against HCV genotype 1a H77 infected in human HuH7 cells assessed as inhibition of viral RNA replication after 3 days by renilla luciferase reporter gene assay Hepatitis C virus (isolate H77) 0.071 nM
Transient Replicon Assay: In a transient set-up, a Huh-7 lunet hepatoma cell line was transiently transfected with an autonomously replicating RNA encoding a bi-cistronic expression construct. This construct comprises a firefly luciferase reporter gene preceding the NS3-NS5B subgenomic region of HCV (genotype 1a H77 or 1b Con1). Translation of the HCV subgenomic region is mediated by an internal ribosome entry site of encephalomyocarditis virus. The construct is furthermore flanked by 5' and 3' untranslated regions of HCV (genotype 1a H77 or 1b Con 1, respectively), which allow for replication of the RNA. In addition to the wild-type constructs, site-directed mutations were introduced into the transient HCV genotype 1b replicon in the gene encoding for the non-structural protein 5A (NS5A). More precisely, amino acid residues 28, 30, 31 and 93 in NS5A were independently altered. Cells were plated in 384 well plates in the presence of test and control compounds, which were added in various concentrations. Following an incubation of two days, replication of the HCV subgenomic replicon RNA was measured by assaying luciferase activity (using standard luciferase assay substrates and reagents and a Perkin Elmer ViewLux™ ultraHTS microplate imager). HCV subgenomic replicon containing cells in the control cultures have high luciferase expression in the absence of any inhibitor. The inhibitory activity of the compound was monitored, enabling a dose-response curve for each test compound. None 0.008 nM
Stable Replicon Assay: The assay utilized the stably transfected cell line Huh-7 luc/neo (hereafter referred to as Huh-Luc). This cell line harbors an RNA encoding a bicistronic expression construct comprising the wild type NS3-NS5B regions of HCV type 1b translated from an Internal Ribosome Entry Site (IRES) from encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV), preceded by a reporter portion (FfL-luciferase), and a selectable marker portion (neoR, neomycine phosphotransferase). The construct is flanked by 5' and 3' NTRs (non-translated regions) from HCV type 1b. Continued culture of the replicon cells in the presence of G418 (neoR) is dependent on the replication of the HCV RNA. The stably transfected replicon cells that replicate HCV RNA autonomously and to high levels, encoding inter alia luciferase, were used for screening the antiviral compounds. The replicon cells were plated in 384 well plates in the presence of the test and control compounds which were added in various concentrations. Following an incubation of three days, HCV replication was measured by assaying luciferase activity (using standard luciferase assay substrates and reagents and a Perkin Elmer ViewLux™ ultraHTS microplate imager). Replicon cells in the control cultures have high luciferase expression in the absence of any inhibitor. The inhibitory activity of the compound was monitored on the Huh-Luc cells, enabling a dose-response curve for each test compound. None 0.007 nM
