Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
immunomodulator  Biologically active substance whose activity affects or plays a role in the functioning of the immune system.
fungal metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in fungi, the kingdom that includes microorganisms such as the yeasts and moulds.
human blood serum metabolite  Any metabolite (endogenous or exogenous) found in human blood serum samples.
EC 3.1.4.* (phosphoric diester hydrolase) inhibitor  An EC 3.1.* (ester hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of a phosphoric diester hydrolase (EC 3.1.4.*).
adenosine receptor antagonist  An antagonist at any adenosine receptor.
metabolite  Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites.
Applications:
bronchodilator agent  An agent that causes an increase in the expansion of a bronchus or bronchial tubes.
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
immunomodulator  Biologically active substance whose activity affects or plays a role in the functioning of the immune system.
vasodilator agent  A drug used to cause dilation of the blood vessels.
anti-asthmatic drug  A drug used to treat asthma.
muscle relaxant  A drug used to produce muscle relaxation (excepting neuromuscular blocking agents). Its primary clinical and therapeutic use is the treatment of muscle spasm and immobility associated with strains, sprains, and injuries of the back and, to a lesser degree, injuries to the neck. Also used for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions that have in common only the presence of skeletal muscle hyperactivity, for example, the muscle spasms that can occur in multiple sclerosis.
