| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Chemical Roles: | radical scavenger A role played by a substance that can react readily with, and thereby eliminate, radicals. ligand Any molecule or ion capable of binding to a central metal atom to form coordination complexes. 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). flavouring agent A food additive that is used to added improve the taste or odour of a food. |
| Biological Roles: | 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). 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. 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. 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. 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 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). biological pigment An endogenous molecular entity that results in a colour of an organism as the consequence of the selective absorption of light. flavouring agent A food additive that is used to added improve the taste or odour of a food. antifungal agent An antimicrobial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce. metabolite Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites. 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). plant metabolite Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms. |
| Applications: | anti-inflammatory agent Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects. antineoplastic agent A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. hepatoprotective agent Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the liver. geroprotector Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan. immunomodulator Biologically active substance whose activity affects or plays a role in the functioning of the immune system. neuroprotective agent Any compound that can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. 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). 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. nutraceutical A product in capsule, tablet or liquid form that provide essential nutrients, such as a vitamin, an essential mineral, a protein, an herb, or similar nutritional substance. |
