Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
environmental contaminant  Any minor or unwanted substance introduced into the environment that can have undesired effects.
Biological Roles:
anti-obesity agent  Any substance which is used to reduce or control weight.
antimalarial  A drug used in the treatment of malaria. Antimalarials are usually classified on the basis of their action against Plasmodia at different stages in their life cycle in the human.
anti-HIV agent  An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus.
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.
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.
antitubercular agent  A substance that kills or slows the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is used in the treatment of tuberculosis.
xenobiotic  A xenobiotic (Greek, xenos "foreign"; bios "life") is a compound that is foreign to a living organism. Principal xenobiotics include: drugs, carcinogens and various compounds that have been introduced into the environment by artificial means.
antiviral agent  A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses.
antifungal agent  An antimicrobial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce.
antibacterial drug  A drug used to treat or prevent bacterial infections.
immunosuppressive agent  An agent that suppresses immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-cells or by inhibiting the activation of helper cells. In addition, an immunosuppressive agent is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to diminish the extent and/or voracity of an immune response.
antimicrobial agent  A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans.
Applications:
antimalarial  A drug used in the treatment of malaria. Antimalarials are usually classified on the basis of their action against Plasmodia at different stages in their life cycle in the human.
antiinfective agent  A substance used in the prophylaxis or therapy of infectious diseases.
anti-asthmatic agent  Any compound that has anti-asthmatic effects.
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
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.
gastrointestinal drug  A drug used for its effects on the gastrointestinal system, e.g. controlling gastric acidity, regulating gastrointestinal motility and water flow, and improving digestion.
antiparasitic agent  A substance used to treat or prevent parasitic infections.
antitussive  An agent that suppresses cough. Antitussives have a central or a peripheral action on the cough reflex, or a combination of both. Compare with expectorants, which are considered to increase the volume of secretions in the respiratory tract, so facilitating their removal by ciliary action and coughing, and mucolytics, which decrease the viscosity of mucus, facilitating its removal by ciliary action and expectoration.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
antitubercular agent  A substance that kills or slows the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is used in the treatment of tuberculosis.
cardiovascular drug  A drug that affects the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter or blood volume.
anti-anaemic agent  A compound which increases either the number of red cells or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood.
ophthalmology drug  Any compound used for the treatment of eye conditions or eye diseases.
antibacterial drug  A drug used to treat or prevent bacterial infections.
immunosuppressive agent  An agent that suppresses immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-cells or by inhibiting the activation of helper cells. In addition, an immunosuppressive agent is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to diminish the extent and/or voracity of an immune response.
