Low IC 50 or high pIC 50 values indicate tighter binding (pIC 50 of 8.0 = IC 50 of 10nM, pIC 50 of 9.0 = IC 50 of 1nM, etc.) These are non subtype selective IC 50 values averaged across all GABA A receptor subtypes , so subtype selective compounds with strong binding at one subtype but weak at others will appear unusually weak due to averaging ...
