Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): antimicrobial agent
A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans.
antifungal agent
An antimicrobial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce.
antimetabolite
A substance which is structurally similar to a metabolite but which competes with it or replaces it, and so prevents or reduces its normal utilization.
fatty acid synthesis inhibitor
Any pathway inhibitor that inhibits the synthesis of fatty acids.
Application(s): antiinfective agent
A substance used in the prophylaxis or therapy of infectious diseases.
antilipemic drug
A substance used to treat hyperlipidemia (an excess of lipids in the blood).
