Evaluation of novel nucleobase substitutions.
Potency, cytotoxicity, and persistence ratios in MT4-GFP cells and/or PBMCs for ISL and 16 compounds with nucleobase substitutions. CC50, concentration of test compound required to reduce cell viability by 50%; CTG, CellTiter-Glo; GFP, green fluorescent protein; IC50, half maximal inhibitory effect; ISL, islatravir; NC, not calculated (i.e., persistence ratios could not be calculated due to qualifiers in IC50A [infection performed immediately after washout] and/or IC50B [infection performed 48 h after washout]); PBMC, peripheral blood mononuclear cell.
