Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
Bronsted acid  A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Brønsted base).
Biological Roles:
EC 3.1.1.3 (triacylglycerol lipase) inhibitor  Any EC 3.1.1.* (carboxylic ester hydrolase) inhibitor that inhibits the action of triacylglycerol lipase (EC 3.1.1.3).
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).
algal metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in algae including unicellular organisms like chlorella and diatoms to multicellular organisms like giant kelps and brown algae.
antimicrobial food preservative  A food preservative which prevents decomposition of food by preventing the growth of fungi or bacteria. In European countries, E-numbers for permitted food preservatives are from E200 to E299, divided into sorbates (E200-209), benzoates (E210-219), sulfites (E220-229), phenols and formates (E230-239), nitrates (E240-259), acetates (E260-269), lactates (E270-279), propionates (E280-289) and others (E290-299).
plant metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
drug allergen  Any drug which causes the onset of an allergic reaction.
human xenobiotic metabolite  Any human metabolite produced by metabolism of a xenobiotic compound in humans.
