From the data table, click Analyze, choose nonlinear regression, and choose the panel of equations: Dose-Response -- Special, X is log(concentration). Then choose "Absolute IC50, X is log(concentration)". You must enter a value for the parameter "Baseline" on the Constrain tab of the analysis parameters dialog.
If you are using Excell:
insert a "scatter plot," and set the Y-axis to "logarithmic." It should be approximately linear over some range. Select "add trend line" and pick "exponential." Then display equation and you've got it.
Plot a scatter plot graph at different concentration in excel and and fit the data with a straight line and calculate the value with y=m*x+c where y= % scavenging and x= concentration. Use y=50 and identify the concentration.
The simplest estimate of IC50 is to plot x(concentration of extract),y (inhibition of DPPH (%)and fit the data with a straight line (linear regression). IC50 value is then estimated using the fitted line, i.e., Y = a * X + b, IC50 = (50 - b)/a.
To calculate IC50 of DPPH, you can use graphpad prism. You will plot a dose-response curve with Log(conc) on x-axis and anti-oxidant activity of DPPH on the y-axis. Graphpad prism will give you the IC50 value together with other parameters.
IC 50 of DPPH could be calculated from slope of scatter plot in excel. But using non-regression plot in Graph Pad prism is much easier. it also give graph which you can also include in your manuscript.
select concentrations inhibit lower and higher than50% of the radical
Insert them in excel and choose a scatter plot graph and fit the data with a straight line and calculate the value from the given equation. Where y=50 and calculate the concentration
by making linear regression of the series concentration of DPPH (x-axis) and the percentage inhibitions (y-axis) which will be calculated by excel or other statistical software as Y= aX + c, for example, Y = 0.3782x + 3.1812. Then change the Y value by 50 and calculate the x value, which is 123.79. The IC50 of the DPPH is x value i.e. concentration of DPPH which is 123.79 ug/ml. The unit (ug/ml) depends on your own experiment.
Please, you make a linear regression between the concentration (x) and the percentage of inhibition, so that the regression equation y = bx + a is obtained. Then y is replaced with the value 50. so it will be 50 = bx + a, and x = (y-a)/b. and the x value obtained is the IC50 value.
