PF-07321332 was synthesized at TCG Lifesciences (India) and Wuxi (USA). In addition, a 1:1 MTBE solvate form of PF-07321332 was kindly provided by Pfizer. GS-441524 (the parent nucleoside analog of remdesivir) was purchased from Carbosynth (United Kingdom). For in vitro assays, compounds were dissolved in analytical grade dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to 10 mM stock solution. For in vivo studies, the Beta variant efficacy studies were performed with both PF-07321332 (TCG Lifesciences) and the MTBE solvate form from Pfizer. PF-07321332 (TCG Lifesciences) was formulated as 40 mg/ml in a vehicle containing 40% PEG400 (Sigma) in sterile distilled water. The MTBE solvate form (Pfizer) was formulated as 40 mg/ml suspension in 2% (v/v) Tween80 in 98% (v/v) of 0.5% (w/v) methylcellulose by geometric dilution. PF-07321332 (from Wuxi) was used only in the delta variant hamster study and it was formulated as 40 mg/ml in a vehicle containing 60% PEG400 (Sigma) in sterile distilled water. In these studies, the crystalline form of the active product ingredient (API) was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) (data not shown). X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) would be however required to fully characterize the crystalline form of each API used in in vivo studies.

SARS-CoV-2 Cell-Based Antiviral Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We purchased HCoV-229E and human embryonic lung (HEL) fibroblast cells from ATCC (VR-740 and CCL-137). To conduct the cytopathic effect (CPE) reduction assay [57 (link)], confluent HEL cell cultures in 96-well plates were exposed to serial compound dilutions and immediately infected with HCoV-229E (MOI: 100 CCID50 per well). At the same time, we added the compounds to mock-infected plates to measure cytotoxicity. After five days of incubation at 35 °C, the plates were submitted to microscopic scoring of CPE (virus-infected plates) and compound cytotoxicity (mock-infected plates). To quantify the results by MTS cell viability assay, the medium was replaced by CellTiter 96® AQueous MTS Reagent (from Promega) and, on the next day, optical density at 490 nm was measured in a plate reader. The 50% effective concentration (EC50), based on microscopy or MTS assay, and the 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) by MTS assay were calculated using reported formulas [58 (link)]. The cytotoxicity estimated by microscopy was expressed as the minimal cytotoxic concentration (MCC) causing visible alterations in cell morphology. We included two reference compounds: GS-441524 (the nucleoside form of remdesivir; from Carbosynth) and K22 [(Z)-N-[3-[4-(4-bromophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl]-3-oxo-1-phenylprop-1-en-2-yl]benzamide [36 (link)]; from ChemDiv].

Antiviral Assay for HCoV-229E

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HCoV-229E was purchased from ATCC (VR-740) and expanded in human embryonic lung fibroblast cells (HEL; ATCC ® CCL-137). The titers of virus stocks were determined in HEL cells and expressed as TCID 50 (50% tissue culture infective dose). 54 The cytopathic effect (CPE) reduction assay was performed in 96-well plates containing confluent HEL cell cultures, as previously described. 55 Serial compound dilutions were added together with HCoV-229E at an MOI of 100. In parallel, the compounds were added to a mock-infected plate to assess cytotoxicity. Besides the test compounds, two references were included, i.e. K22 [(Z)-N-[3-[4-(4-bromophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidin-1-yl]-3-oxo-1-phenylprop-1-en-2-yl]benzamide; 47 from ChemDiv] and GS-441524 (the nucleoside form of remdesivir; from Carbosynth). After five days incubation at 35°C, microscopy was performed to score virus-induced CPE. To next perform the colorimetric MTS cell viability assay, the reagent (CellTiter 96 ® AQ ueous MTS Reagent from Promega) was added to the wells, and 24 h later, absorbance at 490 nm was measured in a plate reader. Antiviral activity was calculated from three independent experiments and expressed as EC 50 or concentration showing 50% efficacy in the MTS or microscopic assay (see reference 56 for calculation details). Cytotoxicity was expressed as 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC 50 ) in the MTS assay.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
