Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
radical scavenger  A role played by a substance that can react readily with, and thereby eliminate, radicals.
Biological Roles:
apoptosis inducer  Any substance that induces the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in multi-celled organisms.
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.
volatile oil component  Any plant metabolite that is found naturally as a component of a volatile oil.
EC 1.4.3.4 (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor  An EC 1.4.3.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-NH2 group, oxygen as acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of monoamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.4).
NF-kappaB inhibitor  An inhibitor of NF-κB (nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells), a protein complex involved in the transcription of DNA.
human blood serum metabolite  Any metabolite (endogenous or exogenous) found in human blood serum samples.
sensitiser  A chemical compound that causes a substantial proportion of exposed people or animals to develop an allergic reaction in normal tissue after repeated exposure to the compound.
voltage-gated sodium channel blocker  Any sodium channel blocker that interferes with the activity of voltage-gated sodium channels.
allergen  A chemical compound, or part thereof, which causes the onset of an allergic reaction by interacting with any of the molecular pathways involved in an allergy.
antibacterial agent  A substance (or active part thereof) that kills or slows the growth of bacteria.
flavouring agent  A food additive that is used to added improve the taste or odour of a food.
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.
anaesthetic  Substance which produces loss of feeling or sensation.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
flavouring agent  A food additive that is used to added improve the taste or odour of a food.
