Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) capsid assembly modulators (CAMs) represent a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of HBV infection. In this study, we designed and synthesized five series of benzamide derivatives based on a multisite-binding strategy at the tolerant region and diversity modification in the solvent-exposed region. Among them, thioureidobenzamide compound 17i exhibited significantly increased anti-HBV activity in HepAD38 (EC50 = 0.012 μM) and HBV-infected HLCZ01 cells (EC50 = 0.033 μM). Moreover, 17i displayed a better inhibitory effect on the assembly of HBV capsid protein compared with NVR 3-778 and a inhibitory effect similar to the clinical drug GLS4. In addition, 17i showed moderate metabolic stability in human microsomes, had excellent oral bioavailability in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, and inhibited HBV replication in the HBV carrier mice model, which could be considered as a promising candidate drug for further development.

Abstract
Monitoring the performance of polymer-functionalized surfaces that aim at removing and inactivating viruses is typically labor-intensive and time-consuming. This hampers the development and optimization of such surfaces. Here we present experiments of low complexity that can be used to characterize and quantify the antiviral properties of polymer-functionalized surfaces. We showcase our approach on polyethylenimine (PEI)-coated poly(ether sulfone) (PES) microfiltration membranes. We use a fluorescently labeled model virus to quantify both virus removal and inactivation. We directly quantify the log removal of intact viruses by this membrane using single particle counting. Additionally, we exploit the change in photophysical properties upon disassembly of the virus to show that viruses are inactivated by the PEI coating. Although only a small fraction of intact viruses can pass the membrane, a considerable fraction of inactivated, disassembled viruses are found in the filtrate. Fluorescence microscopy experiments show that most of the viruses left behind on the microfiltration membrane are in the inactivated, disassembled state. Combined, our fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy experiments show that not only does the model virus adsorb to the PEI coating on the membrane but also the interaction with PEI results in the disassembly of the virus capsid.
