Cultures were treated with or without 5 μM chloroquine (Sigma; #C6628) (21 (link)), 5 μM hydroxychloroquine (Sigma; # H0915), 5 μM remdesivir (Biosynth Carbosynth; AG170167), 25 μM lopinavir/ritonavir (Sigma; #SML1222-10MG, #SML0491-10MG), and lopinavir/ritonavir/8 U interferon-β (Sigma; #IF014) for 24 h. After treatment, cells were analyzed as described below. Drug concentrations chosen are based on literature data and are below the 50% cytotoxic concentrations (22 (link), 23 (link)). Incubation of cardiac myocytes with drugs for 24 h under normal culture conditions did not result in cytotoxicity.
