Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
Bronsted acid  A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Brønsted base).
Biological Roles:
anti-HIV agent  An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus.
metabolite  Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites.
anti-obesity agent  Any substance which is used to reduce or control weight.
mouse metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus).
plant metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
analgesic  An agent capable of relieving pain without the loss of consciousness or without producing anaesthesia. In addition, analgesic is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to cause a reduction of pain symptoms.
EC 3.5.1.19 (nicotinamidase) inhibitor  An EC 3.5.1.* (non-peptide linear amide C-N hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of nicotinamidase (EC 3.5.1.19).
human urinary metabolite  Any metabolite (endogenous or exogenous) found in human urine samples.
Escherichia coli metabolite  Any bacterial metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Escherichia coli.
antitubercular agent  A substance that kills or slows the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is used in the treatment of tuberculosis.
water-soluble vitamin (role)  Any vitamin that dissolves in water and readily absorbed into tissues for immediate use. Unlike the fat-soluble vitamins, they are not stored in the body and need to be replenished regularly in the diet and will rarely accumulate to toxic levels since they are quickly excreted from the body via urine.
metabolite  Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites.
Applications:
cardiovascular drug  A drug that affects the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter or blood volume.
analgesic  An agent capable of relieving pain without the loss of consciousness or without producing anaesthesia. In addition, analgesic is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to cause a reduction of pain symptoms.
hypoglycemic agent  A drug which lowers the blood glucose level.
anti-anaemic agent  A compound which increases either the number of red cells or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood.
antidepressant  Antidepressants are mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions.
renoprotective agent  Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the kidneys.
antiatherosclerotic agent  A cardiovascular drug that prevents atherosclerosis (a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque). Compare with antiatherogenic agent.
antidote  Any protective agent counteracting or neutralizing the action of poisons.
anticholesteremic drug  A substance used to lower plasma cholesterol levels.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
antilipemic drug  A substance used to treat hyperlipidemia (an excess of lipids in the blood).
vasodilator agent  A drug used to cause dilation of the blood vessels.
anxiolytic drug  Anxiolytic drugs are agents that alleviate anxiety, tension, and anxiety disorders, promote sedation, and have a calming effect without affecting clarity of consciousness or neurologic conditions.
antitubercular agent  A substance that kills or slows the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is used in the treatment of tuberculosis.
antipsychotic agent  Antipsychotic drugs are agents that control agitated psychotic behaviour, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect.
nutraceutical  A product in capsule, tablet or liquid form that provide essential nutrients, such as a vitamin, an essential mineral, a protein, an herb, or similar nutritional substance.
