IC50 Calculator

Calculate IC50 (half maximal inhibitory concentration) from dose-response inhibition data.

Dose-Response Data

Concentration (uM)
% Inhibition

IC50 Definition

The concentration at which 50% of the maximum effect (inhibition) is observed. Lower IC50 = higher potency.

Tips

  • - Enter at least 3 data points
  • - Include points above and below 50% inhibition
  • - Use log-spaced concentrations
