(735) In the assay, HeLa (human cervical cancer cells), MRC-5 (human fetal lung fibroblast cells), and RD cells (derived from human rhabdomyosarcoma) were employed. For comparison, ribavirin (Riv), pleconaril (pleco), and BTA-798 (BTA) were used as controls. Reagents were dissolved at a concentration of 1040 mg/ml in 100% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Water-soluble reagents were dissolved in PBS () solution and stored at 20 C. On the day of the experiment, they were used in 3 to 5 concentrations in such a manner that the concentration of dimethylsulfoxide in each well was between 0.5% and 1%.
(736) Pharmaceutical effects were determined using a virus-induced cytopathic effect (CPE) inhibition assay. In this regard, after cells suitable for viruses were grown in 96-well plates, dilutions of viruses in DME supplemented with 2% FBS (DME/2% FBS) or MEM supplemented with 2% FBS (MEM/2% FBS) were inoculated in an amount of 100 l with a concentration corresponding to 100 CCID.sub.50 (50% cell culture infective dose) into each well of the plates, and incubated for 30 min1 hrs at 33 C. or 37 C. to allow the viruses to adosorb to the cells. The culture medium was removed before aliquots of drug dilutions with various concentrations were added in an amount of 100 l to each well. While HRV was grown at 33 C., the other viruses were incubated in a 37 C. CO.sub.2 incubator for 23 days. Alternatively, the cells were cultured for 23 days without removal of the medium after they were added with 50 l of each drug dilution having a 2-fold higher concentration and then with 50 l of the virus dilution.
(737) Test conditions for each virus are summarized in Table 2, below.

(739) For HeLa cells, the drugs were measured for EC.sub.50 (50% maximal effective concentration), which is the concentration of a drug inducing a response halfway between the baseline and maximum, using an MTT assay. With regard to RD and MRC-5 cells, CPE was determined using FDA (Fluorescein diacetate). In order for the evaluation results of drug potency to reflect the toxic effect of the drug, mock-infected cells which were prepared by adding a virus-free medium to a cell culture were treated in the same manner. That is, the medium was removed after one hour of incubation, and dilutions of drugs in the medium were added once more. Following incubation for 23 days, the cells were observed under a microscope and the drugs were determined for CC.sub.50 (50% cytotoxic concentration), using an MTT assay in which counts of viable cells in mock-infected wells containing drugs were compared to those of viable cells in control wells containing no drugs. In an FDA hydrolysis assay, FDA was added to each well after removal of the medium, and incubated for 2030 min before fluorescence intensity was measured using a spectrofluorimeter to determine CPE in the same manner as in MTT.
(740) Survival rate (% survival) of mock-infected cells was calculated using the following Mathematic Formula 1:
(741)
(742) While 100% cell survival means no cytotoxicity of the drug, the highest cytotoxicity is reflected by 0% cell survival. The 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC.sub.50) was defined as the concentration required to reduce the cell number by 50% compared to that for the untreated controls. Higher CC.sub.50 values mean lower cytotoxicity.
(743) In addition, antiviral effects can be calculated using the following Mathematic Formula 2:
(744)
(745) A survival rate of 100% means a perfect antiviral effect (100%) whereas the drugs are regarded to be devoid of antiviral effects at a survival rate of 0%. The viral cytopathic effect (CPE) was recorded, and the 50% effective concentration (EC.sub.50) was defined as the compound concentration required to reduce the viral CPE by 50% compared to that for the untreated control. Lower EC.sub.50 values mean higher antiviral activities.
(746) CC.sub.50 and EC.sub.50 values of the compounds which account cytotoxicity and antiviral activity against picornaviruses, respectively, are given in Tables 3 and 4.

(749) As is understood from data of Tables 3 and 4, most of the indanone derivatives of the present invention exhibited low cytotoxicity because they had high CC.sub.50 values. In addition, most of the indanone derivatives of the present invention were found to be highly inhibitory of coxsackie-, polio- and rhinoviruses because their EC.sub.50 values were 0.01 g/mL or less.
(750) Accordingly, the indanone derivatives represented by Chemical Formula 1 in accordance with the present invention exhibit low cytotoxicity and high inhibitory activity against a broad spectrum of picornaviruses, and thus may be usefully applied to a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating picornavirus-caused diseases.
(751) The test compounds were evaluated for anti-picornavirus activity by a multicycle cytopathic effect (CPE) reduction assay. The antiviral activity was initially determined using an MTS [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl-2H-tetrazolium]-based CPE reduction assay.
(752) In this regard, cells grown to confluence in 96-well plates were infected with 100 50% cell culture infective doses (CCID.sub.50) of virus. After an adsorption period of 2 hrs at 37 C., virus was removed and serial dilutions of the compounds were added. The cultures were further incubated at 37 C. for 3 days, until complete CPE was observed in the infected and untreated virus control (VC). After removal of the medium, 90 l of a culture medium and 10 l of MTS-phenazine methosulfate (Promega, Leiden, The Netherlands) were added to each well. After an incubation period of 2 hrs at 37 C., the optical density (OD) of each well was read at 498 nm in a microplate reader.
(753) CPE values for evaluating antiviral activity were calculated using the following Mathematic Formula 3:
(754)
(755) CPE values for evaluating cytotoxicity were calculated using the following Mathematic Formula 4:
(756)
(757) In Formulas 3 and 4,
(758) OD.sub.CC corresponds to the OD of the uninfected and untreated, background cell cultures,
(759) OD.sub.VC represents the OD of the infected and untreated control cell cultures,
(760) OD.sub.virus+Compound represents the OD of the virus-infected cell cultures treated with a given concentration of compound, and
(761) ODBlank represents the OD of the well added with the cell culture medium alone.
