IC50 Calculator

Calculate the half-maximal inhibitory concentration from concentration-response data.

How to use: Enter drug/inhibitor concentrations and the corresponding response or inhibition values. Use percentage inhibition for best results. At least 4 valid data points are recommended.

Y = Bottom + (Top − Bottom) / [1 + (X / IC50)^HillSlope]

The calculator estimates IC50 by interpolating the concentration-response relationship on a logarithmic concentration scale. For publication-grade analysis, nonlinear regression using a validated statistical package is recommended.
