Antiviral Activity of Flavonoids Against FIPV

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Crandell–Rees feline kidney cells were seeded into a 96-well plate at 1.8 × 104 cells/well and cultured in MEM containing 7% FBS. Pre-compound, attachment, penetration, post-viral entry, and virucidal assays were performed based on each step of viral infection. All assays were performed using various concentrations of flavonoids: 100, 50, 25, 10, 1, and 0.1 μM/well with FIPV-infected CRFK cells. For the antiviral activity assay, FIPV was used at 50 TCID50/well in all experiments. Crandell–Rees feline kidney cells were inoculated with FIPV and treated with 0.1% DMSO as vehicle control. GC376 (TargetMol®, Wellesley Hills, MA, USA) was used as the FIPV-specific drug control [17 (link), 18 (link)]. Three experiments were performed in duplicate wells for each compound. The conditions of the antiviral activity assay are shown in Figure-1a.

SARS-CoV-2 Protease Inhibitor Screening

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RDV (Gilead, Foster City, CA, USA) and GC376 (TargetMol, Boston, MA, USA) were used as reference compounds to assess the anti-SARS-CoV-2 in vitro activity or viral 3CLpro protease activity, respectively. The CDK inhibitors LDC4297 (Lead Discovery Center, GmbH, Dortmund, Germany), SNS 032 (Tocris, Bristol, United Kingdom) and R25 (also termed alsterpaullone, GPC Biotech AG, Martinsried, Germany) were obtained from indicated sources.

Evaluation of Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RDV (Gilead, Foster City, CA, USA) and GC376 (T5188, TargetMol, Boston, MA, USA) were used as the reference compounds to determine the anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity for recSARS-CoV-2. The CaCo-2 cells were treated with 2-fold serial dilutions of either RDV (20 nM–0.16 nM) or GC376 (80 nM–0.63 nM) and infected with different SARS-CoV-2 strains at an MOI of 0.005. At 30 hpi, the cells were fixed and analyzed. The infection rates were assessed by immunostaining of the viral spike and reporter expression, respectively. The percentage of viral replication was determined relative to the solvent-treated cells. The 50% effective concentration (EC50) was assessed by nonlinear four-parameter curve fitting using GraphPad Prism 6 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, USA).

GC376 (≥ 98%) (Cat # T5188) was purchased from TargetMol (Washington Street, Wellesley Hills, MA, USA). High glucose Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM)/high glucose containing 4 mM L-Glutamine, 4.5 g/L glucose (Cat # AE29444172) without sodium pyruvate, penicillin–streptomycin antibiotic solutions, and fetal bovine serum (FBS) were obtained from Hyclone/G.E. Healthcare Life Sciences (Logan, UT, USA). Antcins (A, B, C, H, I, and M) were isolated from fruiting bodies of T. camphoratus and A. salmonea, as described previously16 (link),55 (link), and purchased from the R&D Center of Taiwan Leader Biotechnology Corp. (Taichung, Taiwan) and purified using HPLC and FT-NMR analysis. GC-grade citronellol (Cat # C0370) and Limonene (Cat # L0132) were obtained from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd (Toshima, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
