|---|
| Biological Roles: | antiviral agent A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses. insulin-sensitizing drug An agent which overcomes insulin resistance by activation of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma). anti-HIV agent An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus. |
| Applications: | antiinfective agent A substance used in the prophylaxis or therapy of infectious diseases. antispasmodic drug A drug that suppresses spasms. These are usually caused by smooth muscle contraction, especially in tubular organs. The effect is to prevent spasms of the stomach, intestine or urinary bladder. anti-inflammatory agent Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects. antidepressant Antidepressants are mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. 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. geroprotector Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan. cardiovascular drug A drug that affects the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter or blood volume. dermatologic drug A drug used to treat or prevent skin disorders or for the routine care of skin. antiparkinson drug A drug used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. insulin-sensitizing drug An agent which overcomes insulin resistance by activation of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma). cardiovascular drug A drug that affects the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter or blood volume. antineoplastic agent A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. |
