Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
environmental contaminant  Any minor or unwanted substance introduced into the environment that can have undesired effects.
Bronsted acid  A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Brønsted base).
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.
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.
xenobiotic metabolite  Any metabolite produced by metabolism of a xenobiotic compound.
antiviral agent  A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses.
EC 1.14.99.1 (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase) inhibitor  A compound or agent that combines with cyclooxygenases (EC 1.14.99.1) and thereby prevents its substrate-enzyme combination with arachidonic acid and the formation of icosanoids, prostaglandins, and thromboxanes.
Applications:
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.
antirheumatic drug  A drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
anti-asthmatic agent  Any compound that has anti-asthmatic effects.
gout suppressant  A drug that increases uric acid excretion by the kidney (uricosuric drug), decreases uric acid production (antihyperuricemic), or alleviates the pain and inflammation of acute attacks of gout.
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.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
vasoconstrictor agent  Drug used to cause constriction of the blood vessels.
cardiovascular drug  A drug that affects the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter or blood volume.
ophthalmology drug  Any compound used for the treatment of eye conditions or eye diseases.
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
