• Tests of antiviral activity were performed in 2.2.15 human hepaloma cells infected with hepatitis B according to the method of Korba and Gerin, Antiviral Research, 19, 55-70 (1992). Briefly, cells were seeded into 96 well plates and cell media containing various concentrations of the compounds was added”. Media was. changed daily for 9 days and fresh media containing compound was added each day. On the 10 th day, viral DNA in the supernatant was measured and the reduction in the amount of virus in the supernatant wa ⁇ calculated compared to cells incubated without drug. Six separate replicates were performed for each drag concentration. The effective concentration for 50% and 90% Munition of the replication of the virus was determined from dose response eurvcs. Results for some compounds of the invention are shown in Table 1.
• Antiviral activity was also examined in HepG2 hepatoma cells infected with HBN containing mutations associated with resistance to lamivudine (3TC). Two cell lines containing an L180M mutation in the HBV D ⁇ A polymerase, and a double L180M/M204V mutation were used. Cells were plated out in six well plates and allowed to attach overnight, Next day, the culture medium was replaced with either medium alone or medium containing the desired concentration of antiviral compound. Media was changed for fresh medium with or without, antiviral compound on day 3. On day 5, supernatant and cell lysatcs were analysed for levels of HBV core protein by non-denaturing Western blot using an anti-HBV core antibody,
