Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
detergent  A surfactant (or a mixture containing one or more surfactants) having cleaning properties in dilute solutions.
solvent  A substance that dissolves other substances (solutes) to form a solution without any change in their chemical composition.
Biological Roles:
osmolyte  A solute used by a cell under water stress to maintain cell volume.
mouse metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus).
Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite  Any fungal metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ).
algal metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in algae including unicellular organisms like chlorella and diatoms to multicellular organisms like giant kelps and brown algae.
Escherichia coli metabolite  Any bacterial metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Escherichia coli.
human metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in humans (Homo sapiens).
anti-HIV agent  An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus.
antibacterial agent  A substance (or active part thereof) that kills or slows the growth of bacteria.
Applications:
anti-ulcer drug  One of various classes of drugs with different action mechanisms used to treat or ameliorate peptic ulcer or irritation of the gastrointestinal tract.
laxative  An agent that produces a soft formed stool, and relaxes and loosens the bowels, typically used over a protracted period, to relieve constipation. Compare with cathartic, which is a substance that accelerates defecation. A substances can be both a laxative and a cathartic.
detergent  A surfactant (or a mixture containing one or more surfactants) having cleaning properties in dilute solutions.
geroprotector  Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan.
ophthalmology drug  Any compound used for the treatment of eye conditions or eye diseases.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
solvent  A substance that dissolves other substances (solutes) to form a solution without any change in their chemical composition.
