Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
radical scavenger  A role played by a substance that can react readily with, and thereby eliminate, radicals.
polar aprotic solvent  A solvent with a comparatively high relative permittivity (or dielectric constant), greater than ca. 15, and a sizable permanent dipole moment, that cannot donate suitably labile hydrogen atoms to form strong hydrogen bonds.
Biological Roles:
alkylating agent  Highly reactive chemical that introduces alkyl radicals into biologically active molecules and thereby prevents their proper functioning. It could be used as an antineoplastic agent, but it might be very toxic, with carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressant actions. It could also be used as a component of poison gases.
Escherichia coli metabolite  Any bacterial metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Escherichia coli.
non-narcotic analgesic  A drug that has principally analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory actions. Non-narcotic analgesics do not bind to opioid receptors.
Applications:
geroprotector  Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan.
non-narcotic analgesic  A drug that has principally analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory actions. Non-narcotic analgesics do not bind to opioid receptors.
antidote  Any protective agent counteracting or neutralizing the action of poisons.
polar aprotic solvent  A solvent with a comparatively high relative permittivity (or dielectric constant), greater than ca. 15, and a sizable permanent dipole moment, that cannot donate suitably labile hydrogen atoms to form strong hydrogen bonds.
