Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
Biological Roles:
EC 3.4.14.5 (dipeptidyl-peptidase IV) inhibitor  An EC 3.4.14.* (dipeptidyl- and tripeptidyl-peptidases) inhibitor that specifically inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (EC 3.4.14.5).
EC 1.13.11.52 (indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase) inhibitor  An EC 1.13.11.* (oxidoreductase acting on single donors and incorporating 2 atoms of oxygen) inhibitor that interferes with the action of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.52).
EC 2.1.1.116 [3'-hydroxy-N-methyl-(S)-coclaurine 4'-O-methyltransferase] inhibitor  An EC 2.1.1.* (methyltransferases) inhibitor that interferes with the action of 3'-hydroxy-N-methyl-(S)-coclaurine 4'-O-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.116).
EC 1.1.1.141 [15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (NAD(+))] inhibitor  An EC 1.1.1.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-OH group, NAD+ or NADP+ acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (NAD+) (EC 1.1.1.141).
potassium channel blocker  An agent that inhibits cell membrane glycoproteins that are selectively permeable to potassium ions.
EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor  An EC 3.1.1.* (carboxylic ester hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of enzyme acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7), which helps breaking down of acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid.
EC 3.1.3.48 (protein-tyrosine-phosphatase) inhibitor  An EC 3.1.3.* (phosphoric monoester hydrolase) inhibitor which interferes with the activity of the enzyme protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), EC 3.1.3.48, involved in the removal of phosphate groups from phosphorylated tyrosine residues on proteins.
EC 3.1.1.8 (cholinesterase) inhibitor  An EC 3.1.1.* (carboxylic ester hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8).
metabolite  Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites.
EC 2.7.11.10 (IkappaB kinase) inhibitor  An EC 2.7.11.* (protein-serine/threonine kinase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of IκB kinase (EC 2.7.11.10).
EC 3.1.1.4 (phospholipase A2) inhibitor  An EC 3.1.1.* (carboxylic ester hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of phospholipase A2 (EC 3.1.1.4).
EC 1.1.1.21 (aldehyde reductase) inhibitor  An EC 1.1.1.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-OH group, NAD+ or NADP+ acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of aldehyde reductase (EC 1.1.1.21).
EC 1.21.3.3 (reticuline oxidase) inhibitor  An EC 1.21.3.* (oxidoreductase acting on X-H and Y-H to form an X-Y bond, with oxygen as acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of reticuline oxidase (EC 1.21.3.3, previously EC 1.5.3.9).
EC 3.4.21.26 (prolyl oligopeptidase) inhibitor  Any EC 3.4.21.* (serine endopeptidase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of prolyl oligopeptidase (EC 3.4.21.26).
EC 2.1.1.122 [(S)-tetrahydroprotoberberine N-methyltransferase] inhibitor  An EC 2.1.1.* (methyltransferases) inhibitor that interferes with the action of (S)-tetrahydroprotoberberine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.122).
antimicrobial agent  A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans.
metabolite  Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites.
plant metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
antifungal agent  An antimicrobial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce.
metabolite  Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites.
Applications:
geroprotector  Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan.
hypoglycemic agent  A drug which lowers the blood glucose level.
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).
