Antiviral Efficacy Testing of Hydroxychloroquine, Remdesivir, and IFNB1 against SARS-CoV-2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hydroxychloroquine (Selleck Chemicals Cat. No. S4430) and Remdesivir (Selleck Chemicals Cat. No. S8932) were dissolved in DMSO to a stock concentration of 10 mM. IFNB1 stock of 10ˆ6 units/ml was provided by Dr. Jay Kolls. To test the efficacy of the drugs against SARS-CoV-2 infection/replication in AT2 cells, cultures were suspended in media containing treated with 10 μM of Hydroxychloroquine or Remdesivir, or 100 units/ml of IFNB1 3 hours prior to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Viral infections were performed as described previously. Drugs were maintained in the media for the duration of culture post infection. alveolar cultures without drug treatment in the presence or absence (mock) of viral infections were included as controls.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BBR was obtained from Chengdu Must Bio-Technology Co. (Chengdu, China) and was stored in ddH2O as a 1 mg/ml stock solution at 4 °C in the dark. When THP-1 macrophages reached an exponential phase, they were collected, differentiated, and randomly divided into four groups: (1) control, (2) ultrasound alone, (3) berberine alone, and (4) BBR-SDT. For the berberine and BBR-SDT groups, the cells were incubated with the indicated doses of BBR for 4 h in RPMI 1640 medium containing FBS. The control and ultrasound alone groups received an equivalent volume of medium instead of BBR. The cells in the ultrasound and BBR-SDT groups were exposed to ultrasound at a frequency of 1.0 MHz for the indicated intensities. After the treatments, the cells were carefully washed once in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), were cultured in fresh medium for a few hours, and then were subjected to different analyses.
Depending on the experiments performed, 3MA (Sigma-Aldrich), LY294002 (Selleck Chemicals, Houston, TX, USA), rapamycin (Rapa; Selleck Chemicals), or hydroxychloroquine (Selleck Chemicals) were added to the culture medium in combination with BBR for 4 h. When appropriate, NAC was added to the culture medium 30 min prior to the addition of BBR-SDT.

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.
