Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
environmental contaminant  Any minor or unwanted substance introduced into the environment that can have undesired effects.
Biological Roles:
hepatotoxic agent  A role played by a chemical compound exhibiting itself through the ability to induce damage to the liver in animals.
analgesic  An agent capable of relieving pain without the loss of consciousness or without producing anaesthesia. In addition, analgesic is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to cause a reduction of pain symptoms.
cyclooxygenase 3 inhibitor  A cyclooxygenase inhibitor that interferes with the action of cyclooxygenase 3.
antimalarial  A drug used in the treatment of malaria. Antimalarials are usually classified on the basis of their action against Plasmodia at different stages in their life cycle in the human.
non-narcotic analgesic  A drug that has principally analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory actions. Non-narcotic analgesics do not bind to opioid receptors.
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.
antibacterial agent  A substance (or active part thereof) that kills or slows the growth of bacteria.
antiviral agent  A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses.
anti-HIV agent  An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus.
ferroptosis inducer  Any substance that induces or promotes ferroptosis (a type of programmed cell death dependent on iron and characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides) in organisms.
human blood serum metabolite  Any metabolite (endogenous or exogenous) found in human blood serum samples.
anti-obesity agent  Any substance which is used to reduce or control weight.
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.
cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor  A cyclooxygenase inhibitor that interferes with the action of cyclooxygenase 2.
anti-HBV agent  An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the hepatitis B virus.
cyclooxygenase 1 inhibitor  A cyclooxygenase inhibitor that interferes with the action of cyclooxygenase 1.
Applications:
analgesic  An agent capable of relieving pain without the loss of consciousness or without producing anaesthesia. In addition, analgesic is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to cause a reduction of pain symptoms.
antiparkinson drug  A drug used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
antimalarial  A drug used in the treatment of malaria. Antimalarials are usually classified on the basis of their action against Plasmodia at different stages in their life cycle in the human.
geroprotector  Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan.
anti-arrhythmia drug  A drug used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. Anti-arrhythmia drugs may affect the polarisation-repolarisation phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibres.
hypoglycemic agent  A drug which lowers the blood glucose level.
non-narcotic analgesic  A drug that has principally analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory actions. Non-narcotic analgesics do not bind to opioid receptors.
antihypertensive agent  Any drug used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular hypertension regardless of pharmacological mechanism.
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug  An anti-inflammatory drug that is not a steroid. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins.
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
vulnerary  A drug used in treating and healing of wounds.
renoprotective agent  Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the kidneys.
antiinfective agent  A substance used in the prophylaxis or therapy of infectious diseases.
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.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
antipyretic  A drug that prevents or reduces fever by lowering the body temperature from a raised state. An antipyretic will not affect the normal body temperature if one does not have fever. Antipyretics cause the hypothalamus to override an interleukin-induced increase in temperature. The body will then work to lower the temperature and the result is a reduction in fever.
ophthalmology drug  Any compound used for the treatment of eye conditions or eye diseases.
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.
antiglaucoma drug  Any drug which can be used to prevent or alleviate glaucoma, a disease in which the optic nerve is damaged, resulting in progressive, irreversible loss of vision. It is often, though not always, associated with increased pressure of the fluid in the eye.
antirheumatic drug  A drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
neuroprotective agent  Any compound that can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
