NIM811 induces a concentration-dependent reduction of HCV RNA in the replicon cells with an IC50 of 0.66 μM at 48 h. In addition, the combination of NIM811 with a-IFN significantly enhances anti-HCV activities without causing any increase of cytotoxicity[1]. NIM811 blocks the mitochondrial permeability transition induced by calcium and inorganic phosphate[2].

Please ensure that the stock solution in the first step is dissolved to a clear state, and add co-solvents in sequence. You can use ultrasonic heating (ultrasonic cleaner, recommended frequency 20-40 kHz), vortexing, etc. to assist dissolution.
Protocol
The antiviral activity and cytotoxicity of compounds are determined using an HCV replicon cell line (Huh-Luc/neo-ET) containing a luciferase reporter gene. Briefly, 5,000 replicon cells are seeded in each well of 96-well tissue culture plates and are allowed to attach in complete culture medium without G418 overnight. On the next day, the culture medium is replaced with medium containing serially diluted NIM811 in the presence of 10% FBS and 0.5% DMSO. After a 48-h NIM811 treatment, the remaining luciferase activities in the cells are determined[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Mice: Male C57BL/6 mice (8-12 weeks) are gavaged with NIM811, 10 mg/kg or an equal volume of vehicle containing 8.3% polyethoxylated castor oil and 8.3% ethanol at 2 h before surgery. Mice undergo massive hepatectomy or sham-operation under ether anesthesia. NIM811 (5 mg/kg) or vehicle is gavaged daily post-operatively for 2 days. Mice are observed for 21 days for survival[3].
