    Glossary Half Maximal Effective Concentration

    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.
