Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
radical scavenger  A role played by a substance that can react readily with, and thereby eliminate, radicals.
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
Biological Roles:
antibacterial agent  A substance (or active part thereof) that kills or slows the growth of bacteria.
EC 1.13.11.31 (arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase) inhibitor  A lipoxygenase inhibitor that interferes with the action of arachidonate 12-lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.31).
prostaglandin antagonist  A compound that inhibits the action of prostaglandins.
EC 1.13.11.33 (arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase) inhibitor  A lipoxygenase inhibitor that interferes with the action of arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.33).
anticoronaviral agent  Any antiviral agent which inhibits the activity of coronaviruses.
EC 4.1.1.17 (ornithine decarboxylase) inhibitor  An EC 4.1.1.* (carboxy-lyase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of ornithine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.17).
EC 3.4.22.69 (SARS coronavirus main proteinase) inhibitor  An EC 3.4.22.* (cysteine endopeptidase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of SARS coronavirus main proteinase (EC 3.4.22.69).
apoptosis inducer  Any substance that induces the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in multi-celled organisms.
ferroptosis inhibitor  Any substance that inhibits the process of ferroptosis (a type of programmed cell death dependent on iron and characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides) in organisms.
EC 3.4.21.26 (prolyl oligopeptidase) inhibitor  Any EC 3.4.21.* (serine endopeptidase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of prolyl oligopeptidase (EC 3.4.21.26).
hormone antagonist  A chemical substance which inhibits the function of the endocrine glands, the biosynthesis of their secreted hormones, or the action of hormones upon their specific sites.
antifungal agent  An antimicrobial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce.
plant metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
Applications:
angiogenesis inhibitor  An agent and endogenous substances that antagonize or inhibit the development of new blood vessels.
prostaglandin antagonist  A compound that inhibits the action of prostaglandins.
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
geroprotector  Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan.
hormone antagonist  A chemical substance which inhibits the function of the endocrine glands, the biosynthesis of their secreted hormones, or the action of hormones upon their specific sites.
