The combinatory index values (CI) are shown for the ATQ + PG constant ratio combination (1:7455) and the ED50, ED75 and ED90 levels of inhibition. The Dm, m and r values are also shown for all sets of data. Dm indicates potency and depicts the median-effect dose at the ED50 level of inhibition. The m value refers to the kinetic order and shape of the curve m = 1, > 1, and < 1 indicates hyperbolic, sigmoidal, and negative sigmoidal shape, respectively. The r value is the linear correlation coefficient for the median-effect plot and indicates conformity to the mass action law.
