| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Chemical Role: | environmental contaminant Any minor or unwanted substance introduced into the environment that can have undesired effects. |
| Biological Roles: | xenobiotic A xenobiotic (Greek, xenos "foreign"; bios "life") is a compound that is foreign to a living organism. Principal xenobiotics include: drugs, carcinogens and various compounds that have been introduced into the environment by artificial means. 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. adrenergic agent Any agent that acts on an adrenergic receptor or affects the life cycle of an adrenergic transmitter. hormone Originally referring to an endogenous compound that is formed in specialized organ or group of cells and carried to another organ or group of cells, in the same organism, upon which it has a specific regulatory function, the term is now commonly used to include non-endogenous, semi-synthetic and fully synthetic analogues of such compounds. |
| Applications: | antineoplastic agent A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. 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. antiemetic A drug used to prevent nausea or vomiting. An antiemetic may act by a wide range of mechanisms: it might affect the medullary control centres (the vomiting centre and the chemoreceptive trigger zone) or affect the peripheral receptors. adrenergic agent Any agent that acts on an adrenergic receptor or affects the life cycle of an adrenergic transmitter. anti-inflammatory drug A substance that reduces or suppresses inflammation. |
