Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
Bronsted acid  A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Brønsted base).
Biological Roles:
GABA agent  A substance, such as agonists, antagonists, degradation or uptake inhibitors, depleters, precursors, and modulators of receptor function, used for its pharmacological actions on GABAergic systems.
teratogenic agent  A role played by a chemical compound in biological systems with adverse consequences in embryo developments, leading to birth defects, embryo death or altered development, growth retardation and functional defect.
anti-HIV agent  An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus.
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).
Applications:
anticonvulsant  A drug used to prevent seizures or reduce their severity.
vulnerary  A drug used in treating and healing of wounds.
antipsychotic agent  Antipsychotic drugs are agents that control agitated psychotic behaviour, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect.
anxiolytic drug  Anxiolytic drugs are agents that alleviate anxiety, tension, and anxiety disorders, promote sedation, and have a calming effect without affecting clarity of consciousness or neurologic conditions.
antimanic drug  Antimanic drugs are agents used to treat bipolar disorders or mania associated with other affective disorders.
GABA agent  A substance, such as agonists, antagonists, degradation or uptake inhibitors, depleters, precursors, and modulators of receptor function, used for its pharmacological actions on GABAergic systems.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
psychotropic drug  A loosely defined grouping of drugs that have effects on psychological function.
neuroprotective agent  Any compound that can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
antidepressant  Antidepressants are mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions.
