Abstract: Southern blot analysis using wild-type HBV (HBVWT)-encoding-plasmid-transfected HepG2 cells revealed that CdFA efficiently suppresses the production of HBVWT (IC50 = 153.7 nM), entecavir (ETV)-resistant HBV carrying
L180M/
S202G/
M204V substitutions (HBVETVR; IC50 = 373.2 nM), and adefovir dipivoxil (ADV)-resistant HBV carrying
A181T/
N236T substitutions (HBVADVR; IC50=192.6 nM), whereas ETV and ADV were less potent against HBVETVR and HBVADVR (IC50: >1,000 and 4,022.5 nM, respectively).
Method: Plasmids carrying the 1.24-fold HBV genomes of a wild-type genotype Ce strain (HBVWTCe), entecavir-resistant strain carrying
L180M/
S202G/
M204V substitutions (HBVETVR), or adefovir-resistant strain carrying
