In this study, the quantitative PCR method was used to quantitatively analyze the HBV DNA produced by the proliferation of HepG2.2.15 in vitro, thus determining the activity of the compounds in the present disclosure to inhibit HBV DNA replication through inhibiting the assembly of HBV capsid protein.
HepG2.2.15 cells were cultured in DMEM/high glucose medium (10% FBS, 400 μg/ml G418) and passaged every 3 days. On the day of experiment, fresh cell culture medium was used to prepare cell suspension, which was cultured with 40,000 cells/well in 96 well plate (Corning, #3599) under 5% carbon dioxide at 37° C. On the second day, the compound was first dissolved in pure DMSO with the concentration of 20 mM, then the first concentration of 2 mM was prepared with DMSO followed by diluted to 8 concentrations by 4 times in turn. The control well was added with 90 μL of DMSO, which was diluted 200 times with DMEM/high glucose-containing medium. The cell culture plate inoculated on the first day was taken out, and then, the medium in the well plate was sucked out by using the negative pressure suction device. Into each well, the prepared medium containing each concentration of compound was added respectively, which was cultured with 200 μl/well at 37° C. for 72 hours. On the fifth day, the fresh medium containing the same compound was used to exchange the old medium by using the method that was the same as the second day, and then the fresh medium was cultured at 37° C. for 72 hours. On the eighth day, the cell culture plate was taken out, centrifuged at 300 g for 3 minutes, and then the supernatant was collected and cultured with 200 ml μL/well. The extraction of HBV DNA from cell culture supernatant was carried out by using Qiagen automatic DNA extraction equipment, with the method specifically mentioned in reagent and instrument instructions. At last, the extracted DNA was eluted with DNA elution buffer with 100 μL/well. The extracted DNA was analyzed by HBV DNA quantitative PCR using Hepatitis B virus nucleic acid quantitative detection kit from Tepp biology, with the method specifically mentioned in the instructions of the kit. The quantitative standard curve was determined in parallel experiment using the own standard sample of the kit. Each sample was converted quantitatively based on the standard curve. Finally, the EC50 values of the compounds were calculated by Graphpad Prism software based on the concentrations of the compounds and the corresponding DNA values. Emax is the maximum inhibitory effect value of the compound on HBV DNA replication.
It was determined that compound B in the present disclosure can inhibit in vitro activity of HBV DNA replication through inhibiting the assembly of HBV capsid protein by the above test, and the results were EC50=19 nM, and Emax=100%, indicating an obvious inhibition on HBV DNA replication.

On the second day, the compound was dissolved in pure DMSO with the concentration of 20 mM, and then the gradient dilution of the compound was carried out by using Automatic pipetting workstation (Bravo) with the dilution times of 3, where there were 8 concentration points for each compound, and the control well was DMSO; next, the compound with each concentration treated by DMSO was diluted 200 times using EMEM (containing 10% FBS) medium. The cell culture plate inoculated on the first day was taken out, and then the medium in the well plate was sucked out by using the negative pressure suction device. Into each well, the prepared medium containing each concentration of compound was added respectively, which was cultured with 100 μl/well at 37° C. for 72 hours. On the fifth day, the 96-well cell plate was taken out, and the freshly prepared CellTiter Glo was added into each well with 100 μL/well, left to stand for 5-10 minutes, sealed for the bottom of the 96-well plate with a white back cover film (PerkinElmer), placed into the Microplate Reader, and measured for the Luminescence signal by the reader. CC50 values of the compounds were calculated by Graphpad Prism software based on the concentrations of the compounds and the corresponding proliferation inhibition signal values, and the result was CC50>100 μM, indicating no or little effect on the proliferation inhibition of HepG2 cells in vitro, showing high safety.
