| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Chemical Roles: | ligand Any molecule or ion capable of binding to a central metal atom to form coordination complexes. flavouring agent A food additive that is used to added improve the taste or odour of a food. radical scavenger A role played by a substance that can react readily with, and thereby eliminate, radicals. food colouring A food additive that imparts colour to food. In European countries, E-numbers for permitted food colours are from E 100 to E 199, divided into yellows (E 100-109), oranges (E 110-119), reds (E 120-129), blues and violets (E 130-139), greens (E 140-149), browns and blacks (E 150-159), and others (E 160-199). |
| Biological Roles: | biological pigment An endogenous molecular entity that results in a colour of an organism as the consequence of the selective absorption of light. EC 1.1.1.205 (IMP dehydrogenase) inhibitor An EC 1.1.1.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-OH group, NAD+ or NADP+ acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of IMP dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.205), so blocking de novo biosynthesis of purine nucleotides. flavouring agent A food additive that is used to added improve the taste or odour of a food. antibacterial agent A substance (or active part thereof) that kills or slows the growth of bacteria. EC 1.8.1.9 (thioredoxin reductase) inhibitor An EC 1.8.1.* (oxidoreductase acting on sulfur group of donors, NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of thioredoxin reductase (EC 1.8.1.9). immunosuppressive agent An agent that suppresses immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-cells or by inhibiting the activation of helper cells. In addition, an immunosuppressive agent is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to diminish the extent and/or voracity of an immune response. antifungal agent An antimicrobial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce. food colouring A food additive that imparts colour to food. In European countries, E-numbers for permitted food colours are from E 100 to E 199, divided into yellows (E 100-109), oranges (E 110-119), reds (E 120-129), blues and violets (E 130-139), greens (E 140-149), browns and blacks (E 150-159), and others (E 160-199). EC 1.1.1.21 (aldehyde reductase) inhibitor An EC 1.1.1.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-OH group, NAD+ or NADP+ acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of aldehyde reductase (EC 1.1.1.21). EC 2.7.10.2 (non-specific protein-tyrosine kinase) inhibitor An EC 2.7.10.* (protein-tyrosine kinase) inhibitor that specifically blocks the action of non-specific protein-tyrosine kinase (EC 2.7.10.2). immunomodulator Biologically active substance whose activity affects or plays a role in the functioning of the immune system. EC 1.6.5.2 [NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone)] inhibitor An EC 1.6.5.* (oxidoreductase acting on NADH or NADPH with a quinone or similar as acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone), EC 1.6.5.2. metabolite Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites. EC 3.5.1.98 (histone deacetylase) inhibitor An EC 3.5.1.* (non-peptide linear amide C-N hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the function of histone deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.98). EC 1.1.1.25 (shikimate dehydrogenase) inhibitor An EC 1.1.1.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-OH group, NAD+ or NADP+ acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of shikimate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.25). lipoxygenase inhibitor A compound or agent that combines with lipoxygenase and thereby prevents its substrate-enzyme combination with arachidonic acid and the formation of the icosanoid products hydroxyicosatetraenoic acid and various leukotrienes. plant metabolite Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms. |
| Applications: | anti-asthmatic agent Any compound that has anti-asthmatic effects. contraceptive drug A chemical substance that prevents or reduces the probability of conception. flavouring agent A food additive that is used to added improve the taste or odour of a food. nephroprotective agent Any protective agent that is able to prevent damage to the kidney. antidepressant Antidepressants are mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. immunosuppressive agent An agent that suppresses immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-cells or by inhibiting the activation of helper cells. In addition, an immunosuppressive agent is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to diminish the extent and/or voracity of an immune response. food colouring A food additive that imparts colour to food.
