  1. aRibavirin, used as a positive control
  2. bEC50: compound concentration required to achieve 50% protection from virus-induced cytopathogenicity
  3. cCC50: compound concentration required to reduce cell viability by 50%
  4. dSI (selectivity index): ratio by CC50/EC50
  5. eValues represent the mean ± SD of three independent experiments
