Identification of micafungin as an anti-EV71 inhibitor from a screen of the FDA-approved drug library. a Schematic diagram of DNA encoding the EV71 replicon. b Vero cells were transfected with in vitro-transcribed EV71-replicon RNAs, immediately treated with 968 FDA-approved drugs (10 μM) for 8 h, and then assayed for firefly luciferase activity. Rupintrivir (10 μM) was used as a positive control. The luciferase activities from cells treated with 21 primary hits including micafungin were presented in graph. The luciferase activity from DMSO-treated cells was considered to be 100 %. c The antiviral activities of the primary hits were further evaluated in EV71-infected LLC-MK2 Derivative cells. The LLC-MK2 Derivative cells were infected with EV71 (100 CCID50), simultaneously treated with the 21 primary hits (2 and 10 μM) for 96 h, and then cell viabilities were analyzed by using MTT assay. Rupintrivir (2 and 10 μM) was used as a positive control. The viability of DMSO-treated cells was considered to be 0 %, and that of uninfected cells was considered to be 100 %. d The chemical structure of micafungin
