Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
NMR chemical shift reference compound  Any compound that produces a peak used as reference frequency in the δ chemical shift scale.
Biological Role:
nutrient  A nutrient is a food component that an organism uses to survive and grow.
Applications:
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
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.
antihypertensive agent  Any drug used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular hypertension regardless of pharmacological mechanism.
NMR chemical shift reference compound  Any compound that produces a peak used as reference frequency in the δ chemical shift scale.
laxative  An agent that produces a soft formed stool, and relaxes and loosens the bowels, typically used over a protracted period, to relieve constipation. Compare with cathartic, which is a substance that accelerates defecation. A substances can be both a laxative and a cathartic.
