Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
oxidising agent  A substance that removes electrons from another reactant in a redox reaction.
explosive  A substance capable of undergoing rapid and highly exothermic decomposition.
oxidising agent  A substance that removes electrons from another reactant in a redox reaction.
Biological Roles:
human xenobiotic metabolite  Any human metabolite produced by metabolism of a xenobiotic compound in humans.
Escherichia coli metabolite  Any bacterial metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Escherichia coli.
neurotoxin  A poison that interferes with the functions of the nervous system.
genotoxin  A role played by a chemical compound to induce direct or indirect DNA damage. Such damage can potentially lead to the formation of a malignant tumour, but DNA damage does not lead inevitably to the creation of cancerous cells.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite  Any fungal metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ).
GABA antagonist  A compound that inhibits the action of γ-aminobutyric acid.
disinfectant  An antimicrobial agent that is applied to non-living objects to destroy harmful microorganisms or to inhibit their activity.
mouse metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus).
cofactor  An organic molecule or ion (usually a metal ion) that is required by an enzyme for its activity. It may be attached either loosely (coenzyme) or tightly (prosthetic group).
apoptosis inducer  Any substance that induces the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in multi-celled organisms.
antimicrobial agent  A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans.
Applications:
bleaching agent  A reagent that lightens or whitens a substrate through chemical reaction. Bleaching reactions usually involve oxidative or reductive processes that degrade colour systems. Bleaching can occur by destroying one or more of the double bonds in the conjugated chain, by cleaving the conjugated chain, or by oxidation of one of the other moieties in the conjugated chain. Their reactivity results in many bleaches having strong bactericidal, disinfecting, and sterilising properties.
biomarker  A substance used as an indicator of a biological state.
GABA antagonist  A compound that inhibits the action of γ-aminobutyric acid.
emetic  Any agent that induces nausea and vomiting.
