| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Chemical Role: | Bronsted acid A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Brønsted base). |
| Biological Roles: | Escherichia coli metabolite Any bacterial metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Escherichia coli. anti-obesity agent Any substance which is used to reduce or control weight. metabolite Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites. analgesic An agent capable of relieving pain without the loss of consciousness or without producing anaesthesia. In addition, analgesic is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to cause a reduction of pain symptoms. plant metabolite Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms. antitubercular agent A substance that kills or slows the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is used in the treatment of tuberculosis. EC 3.5.1.19 (nicotinamidase) inhibitor An EC 3.5.1.* (non-peptide linear amide C-N hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of nicotinamidase (EC 3.5.1.19). anti-HIV agent An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus. mouse metabolite Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus). human urinary metabolite Any metabolite (endogenous or exogenous) found in human urine samples. water-soluble vitamin (role) Any vitamin that dissolves in water and readily absorbed into tissues for immediate use. Unlike the fat-soluble vitamins, they are not stored in the body and need to be replenished regularly in the diet and will rarely accumulate to toxic levels since they are quickly excreted from the body via urine. metabolite Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites. |
| Applications: | analgesic An agent capable of relieving pain without the loss of consciousness or without producing anaesthesia. In addition, analgesic is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to cause a reduction of pain symptoms. antidepressant Antidepressants are mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. antipsychotic agent Antipsychotic drugs are agents that control agitated psychotic behaviour, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect. antilipemic drug A substance used to treat hyperlipidemia (an excess of lipids in the blood). antitubercular agent A substance that kills or slows the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is used in the treatment of tuberculosis. antiatherosclerotic agent A cardiovascular drug that prevents atherosclerosis (a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque). Compare with antiatherogenic agent. hypoglycemic agent A drug which lowers the blood glucose level. anxiolytic drug Anxiolytic drugs are agents that alleviate anxiety, tension, and anxiety disorders, promote sedation, and have a calming effect without affecting clarity of consciousness or neurologic conditions. antineoplastic agent A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. anticholesteremic drug A substance used to lower plasma cholesterol levels. cardiovascular drug A drug that affects the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter or blood volume. renoprotective agent Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the kidneys. antidote Any protective agent counteracting or neutralizing the action of poisons. vasodilator agent A drug used to cause dilation of the blood vessels. anti-anaemic agent A compound which increases either the number of red cells or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood. 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. |
