Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
human metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in humans (Homo sapiens).
immunosuppressive agent  An agent that suppresses immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-cells or by inhibiting the activation of helper cells. In addition, an immunosuppressive agent is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to diminish the extent and/or voracity of an immune response.
mouse metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus).
Applications:
antidepressant  Antidepressants are mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions.
neuroprotective agent  Any compound that can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
immunosuppressive agent  An agent that suppresses immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-cells or by inhibiting the activation of helper cells. In addition, an immunosuppressive agent is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to diminish the extent and/or voracity of an immune response.
antiparkinson drug  A drug used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
geroprotector  Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan.
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.
antipsychotic agent  Antipsychotic drugs are agents that control agitated psychotic behaviour, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
