Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
anti-HIV agent  An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus.
Aspergillus metabolite  Any fungal metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in the mould, Aspergillus .
metabolite  Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites.
EC 1.1.1.34/EC 1.1.1.88 (hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase) inhibitor  Any EC 1.1.1.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-OH group, NAD+ or NADP+ acceptor) inhibitor that inhibits HMG-CoA reductases. Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors have been shown to lower directly cholesterol synthesis. The Enzyme Commission designation is EC 1.1.1.34 for the NADPH-dependent enzyme and EC 1.1.1.88 for an NADH-dependent enzyme.
EC 1.1.1.34/EC 1.1.1.88 (hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase) inhibitor  Any EC 1.1.1.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-OH group, NAD+ or NADP+ acceptor) inhibitor that inhibits HMG-CoA reductases. Hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors have been shown to lower directly cholesterol synthesis. The Enzyme Commission designation is EC 1.1.1.34 for the NADPH-dependent enzyme and EC 1.1.1.88 for an NADH-dependent enzyme.
Applications:
antirheumatic drug  A drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
prodrug  A compound that, on administration, must undergo chemical conversion by metabolic processes before becoming the pharmacologically active drug for which it is a prodrug.
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.
anti-asthmatic agent  Any compound that has anti-asthmatic effects.
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
antiparkinson drug  A drug used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
cardiovascular drug  A drug that affects the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter or blood volume.
anticholesteremic drug  A substance used to lower plasma cholesterol levels.
anticholesteremic drug  A substance used to lower plasma cholesterol levels.
anticholesteremic drug  A substance used to lower plasma cholesterol levels.
