Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
mouse metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus).
neurotransmitter  An endogenous compound that is used to transmit information across the synapse between a neuron and another cell.
anti-HIV agent  An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus.
muscarinic agonist  Any drug that binds to and activates a muscarinic cholinergic receptor.
hormone  Originally referring to an endogenous compound that is formed in specialized organ or group of cells and carried to another organ or group of cells, in the same organism, upon which it has a specific regulatory function, the term is now commonly used to include non-endogenous, semi-synthetic and fully synthetic analogues of such compounds.
human metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in humans (Homo sapiens).
Applications:
hypoglycemic agent  A drug which lowers the blood glucose level.
muscarinic agonist  Any drug that binds to and activates a muscarinic cholinergic receptor.
anti-anaemic agent  A compound which increases either the number of red cells or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood.
vasodilator agent  A drug used to cause dilation of the blood vessels.
antiglaucoma drug  Any drug which can be used to prevent or alleviate glaucoma, a disease in which the optic nerve is damaged, resulting in progressive, irreversible loss of vision. It is often, though not always, associated with increased pressure of the fluid in the eye.
cardiovascular drug  A drug that affects the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter or blood volume.
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
