GlossaryHalf Maximal Effective Concentration (EC50)

concentration needed for 50% of maximum drug effect

The Half Maximal Effective Concentration, often abbreviated as EC50, is a measure used in pharmacology to indicate the concentration of a drug or substance required to achieve half of its maximum effect. This value helps researchers understand the potency of a compound, with a lower EC50 indicating a more potent substance.
