Cytotoxicity of Heavy Metal Ions and Ionic Liquids on MCF-7

Description

Chemicals include four heavy metal ions: {\rm{NiN}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{3}}}\cdot 6{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{O}}(Ni), {\rm{ZnS}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{4}}} \cdot {\rm{7}}{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{O}} (Zn), {\rm{CuS}}{{\rm{O}}_{\rm{4}}} \cdot 5{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{O}} (Cu), and {\rm{MnC}}{{\rm{l}}_{\rm{2}}} \cdot 4{{\rm{H}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{O}} (Mn); four ionic liquids are 1-Octyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (Omim), 1-Dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (Dmim), 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (Emim), and 1-Hexyl-3-Methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (Hmim).
The concentration-response data include the cytotoxicity of eight compounds, two mixtures designed by eecr, and ten mixtures designed by udcr.
The fitting information of eight chemicals and a total of 12 mixtures.

Details

Quantal responses[0, 1] are needed for curve fitting using the following six equaitons: i.e., Weibull, Logit, Hill, BCL, GL, BCW. The following equation could transform continous responses to quantal ones:

E = \frac{{{I_0} - {I_i}}}{{{I_0}}}

where I_0 is the average of controls for inhibition tests or the average of the maximum effect for stimulation tests and I_i the average effect of the i^{th} treatment.
