| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Biological Roles: | antimicrobial agent A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans. antibacterial agent A substance (or active part thereof) that kills or slows the growth of bacteria. anti-obesity agent Any substance which is used to reduce or control weight. antiviral agent A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses. |
| Applications: | antineoplastic agent A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. anticoagulant An agent that prevents blood clotting. hypoglycemic agent A drug which lowers the blood glucose level. anti-inflammatory agent Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects. anti-arrhythmia drug A drug used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. Anti-arrhythmia drugs may affect the polarisation-repolarisation phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibres. renoprotective agent Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the kidneys. vulnerary A drug used in treating and healing of wounds. antiinfective agent A substance used in the prophylaxis or therapy of infectious diseases. ophthalmology drug Any compound used for the treatment of eye conditions or eye diseases. cardiovascular drug A drug that affects the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter or blood volume. |
