Chemical Roles:
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
Biological Roles:
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.
human metabolite  Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in humans (Homo sapiens).
plant metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
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.
fat-soluble vitamin (role)  Any vitamin that dissolves in fats and are stored in body tissues. Unlike the water-soluble vitamins, they are stored in the body for long periods of time and generally pose a greater risk for toxicity when consumed in excess.
Applications:
neuroprotective agent  Any compound that can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
antirheumatic drug  A drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
hepatoprotective agent  Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the liver.
antiglaucoma drug  Any drug which can be used to prevent or alleviate glaucoma, a disease in which the optic nerve is damaged, resulting in progressive, irreversible loss of vision. It is often, though not always, associated with increased pressure of the fluid in the eye.
anti-anaemic agent  A compound which increases either the number of red cells or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood.
hypoglycemic agent  A drug which lowers the blood glucose level.
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.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
antiinfective agent  A substance used in the prophylaxis or therapy of infectious diseases.
antipsychotic agent  Antipsychotic drugs are agents that control agitated psychotic behaviour, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect.
anti-asthmatic agent  Any compound that has anti-asthmatic effects.
antiparkinson drug  A drug used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
antipsoriatic  A drug used to treat psoriasis.
cardiovascular drug  A drug that affects the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter or blood volume.
vulnerary  A drug used in treating and healing of wounds.
antidote  Any protective agent counteracting or neutralizing the action of poisons.
renoprotective agent  Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the kidneys.
antiatherosclerotic agent  A cardiovascular drug that prevents atherosclerosis (a disease in which the inside of an artery narrows due to the build up of plaque). Compare with antiatherogenic agent.
antifibrotic agent  Any agent which acts to reduce fibrosis.
antidepressant  Antidepressants are mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions.
ophthalmology drug  Any compound used for the treatment of eye conditions or eye diseases.
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
