Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
environmental contaminant  Any minor or unwanted substance introduced into the environment that can have undesired effects.
Biological Roles:
drug allergen  Any drug which causes the onset of an allergic reaction.
serotonin uptake inhibitor  A compound that specifically inhibits the reuptake of serotonin in the brain. This increases the serotonin concentration in the synaptic cleft which then activates serotonin receptors to a greater extent.
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.
Applications:
