(557) HepG2.2.15 cell is a stable expression cell line that has integrated HBV genome.

(558) Virus particles containing HBV DNA can be synthesized by replication, transcription and encapsidation in the cells, and then secreted. In this study, the quantitative analysis of HBV DNA produced by HepG2.2.15 in vitro proliferation was carried out by quantitative PCR method, thereby determining the activity of the compound of the present invention on inhibiting the HBV DNA replication by inhibiting the assembly of HBV capsid protein.

(559) HepG2.2.15 cells were cultured in DMEM/high glucose medium (10% FBS, 400 g/ml G418) and passaged every three days. On the day of the experiment, a cell suspension was prepared with fresh cell culture medium, and incubated in a 96-well plate (Corning, #3599) at 40,000 cells/well, at 5% carbon dioxide, 37° C. On Day 2, the compound was dissolved in pure DMSO at a concentration of 20 mM, and then the first concentration of 2 mM was formulated with DMSO, and and diluted in 4-fold concentration gradient to 8 concentrations. A control well was added with 90 μl of DMSO. The compound solution was diluted 200-fold with DMEM/high glucose medium. The cell culture plate inoculated on Day 1 was taken out. The medium in the wells was removed by a negative pressure suction device, and the formulated medium containing the compound at each concentration was added respectively to each well at 200 μl/well. The plate was incubated at 37° C. for 72 hours. On Day 5, the medium of the cultured cells was replaced with fresh medium containing the same compound in the same way as Day 2, and then the plate was incubated at 37° C. for 72 hours. On Day 8, the cell culture plate was taken out, centrifuged at 300 g for 3 minutes, and the culture supernatant was collected at 200 μl/well. HBV DNA was extracted from the cell culture supernatant with Qiagen automatic DNA extraction device, and the specific method referred to the instructions of the reagents and instruments. Finally, the extracted DNA was eluted with DNA elution buffer at 100 μl/well. The extracted DNA was subjected to quantitative PCR analysis of HBV DNA using Hepatitis B virus nucleic acid quantitative detection kit (Triplex International Biosciences Co., Ltd.), and the specific method referred to the instruction of the kit. The quantitative standard curve was obtained with the standard sample provided in the kit, and the experiments were performed in parallel. Quantitative conversion of each sample was carried out according to the standard curve. Finally, the EC.sub.50 value of the compound was calculated with Graphpad Prism software according to each concentration of the compound and the corresponding DNA value. Emax is the effect value of the compound to maximally inhibit HBV DNA replication.

(560) The in vitro activity of the compound of the present invention on inhibiting the HBV DNA replication by inhibiting the assembly of HBV capsid protein was determined by the above experiment. The measured EC.sub.50 values are shown in Table 1.
