Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
Bronsted acid  A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Brønsted base).
Bronsted acid  A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Brønsted base).
Biological Roles:
apoptosis inhibitor  Any substance that inhibits the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in multi-celled organisms.
plant metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
plant metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
Applications:
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
cardioprotective agent  Any protective agent that is able to prevent damage to the heart.
MALDI matrix material  A compound used to form the matrix for MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization) mass spectrometry. MALDI matrix materials are crystalline compounds with a fairly low molecular weight, so as to allow facile vaporization, have strong absorption at UV or IR wavelengths (to rapidly and efficiently absorb laser irradiation), generally contain polar groups (enabling them to be used in aqueous solutions) and are frequently acidic (so assisting ionisation of the compound being studied, which is contained within the matrix material).
neuroprotective agent  Any compound that can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
