Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
disinfectant  An antimicrobial agent that is applied to non-living objects to destroy harmful microorganisms or to inhibit their activity.
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.
Applications:
dermatologic drug  A drug used to treat or prevent skin disorders or for the routine care of skin.
antiinfective agent  A substance used in the prophylaxis or therapy of infectious diseases.
bleaching agent  A reagent that lightens or whitens a substrate through chemical reaction. Bleaching reactions usually involve oxidative or reductive processes that degrade colour systems. Bleaching can occur by destroying one or more of the double bonds in the conjugated chain, by cleaving the conjugated chain, or by oxidation of one of the other moieties in the conjugated chain. Their reactivity results in many bleaches having strong bactericidal, disinfecting, and sterilising properties.
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.
