Fig. (1) Agarose gel electrophoresis showing PCR amplified product of HCV RNA (+) and (-) strands in presence of compounds 11a, 7a, 7c3a. Lane 1: molecular weight marker (M) 100bp ladder, lanes 2 and 4 = positive control and lane 3 = negative control. Lanes 5, 7, 9 and 11 show the effect of compounds 11a, 7a, 7c and 3a on HCV RNA (-) strands and lanes 6, 8, 10 and 12 show the effect of compounds 11a, 7a, 7c and 3a on HCV RNA (+) strands isolated from HepG2 cells at the EC99 in µg/mL after 3 days of treatment.
