| 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 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). 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 1.8.1.9 (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). metabolite Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites. 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 1.1.1.205 (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 1.6.5.2 [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. 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). 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). biological pigment An endogenous molecular entity that results in a colour of an organism as the consequence of the selective absorption of light. antifungal agent An antimicrobial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce. flavouring agent A food additive that is used to added improve the taste or odour of a food. 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. immunomodulator Biologically active substance whose activity affects or plays a role in the functioning of the immune system. contraceptive drug A chemical substance that prevents or reduces the probability of conception. 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. antineoplastic agent A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. 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). geroprotector Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan. hepatoprotective agent Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the liver. flavouring agent A food additive that is used to added improve the taste or odour of a food. |
