Fig. 5From: Identification of 2-(4-N,N-Dimethylaminophenyl)-5-methyl-1-phenethyl-1H-benzimidazole targeting HIV-1 CA capsid protein and inhibiting HIV-1 replication in celluloInhibition by 696 of early steps in the viral replication cycle by the analysis of reverse transcription by qPCR detecting viral DNA. Each bar displays the mean and SD of 4 wells of qPCR for the HIV-1 pol gene of a representative two independent experiments (see Materials and methods). Stars demonstrate the significance of the difference compared to DMSO-treated samples (unpaired two tails Mann–Whitney test) with *: p < 0.05 and N.S.: non-significant (p > 0.05). Results are expressed as the copy number of pol viral DNA per 1000 copies of β-actinBack to article page
