Whereas the IC 50 value for a compound may vary between experiments depending on experimental conditions, (e.g. substrate and enzyme concentrations) the K i is an absolute value. K i is the inhibition constant for a drug; the concentration of competing ligand in a competition assay which would occupy 50% of the receptors if no ligand were present.
Ligand efficiency is a measurement of the binding energy per atom of a ligand to its binding partner, such as a receptor or enzyme. [1]Ligand efficiency is used in drug discovery research programs to assist in narrowing focus to lead compounds with optimal combinations of physicochemical properties and pharmacological properties.
The term "potency" refers to the EC 50 value. The lower the EC 50, the less the concentration of a drug is required to produce 50% of maximum effect and the higher the potency. The EC 10 and EC 90 concentrations to induce 10% and 90% maximal responses are defined similarly.
Toxic units (TU) are used in the field of toxicology to quantify the interactions of toxicants in binary mixtures of chemicals. [1] A toxic unit for a given compound is based on the concentration at which there is a 50% effect (ex. EC50) for a certain biological endpoint.

Inhibitors have IC50 values so I tried to reintegrate it with information already present in the article. I think that including it in the lead paragraph would mislead people into thinking it was a discussion about inhibitors not The IC50 concept Lilypink 19:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC) IC50 is not a pharmacological constant! pA2 is a constant.
With 2023 coming closer into view, there's new economic legislation that will come into play -- some of which will hopefully benefit Americans, including the terms of the Inflation Reduction Act...
After the required incubation period, when an even lawn of growth is distinctly visible, the MIC value is read where the pointed end of the inhibition ellipse intersects the side of the strip. Etests can be used as an alternative method to determine the minimum inhibitory concentrations of a wide range of antimicrobial agents against different ...
