The therapeutic index (TI) indicates the relative margin of safety of a drug and it is deduced from the values of mean l
core biological organization analysis shows structure-function relationships govern cellular processes. Consequently TI= LD50 / ED50 emerges as the valid choice since it integrates fundamental principles, aligning with established principles in general biology literature.
Ref: Campbell et al., Biology, 11th Edition, Chapter 2, Chemical Basis of Life, discusses fundamental biological principles and molecular organization providing broad foundation for life sciences understanding.
