Roles Classification
Biological Role:
antiviral agent  A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses.
Applications:
vulnerary  A drug used in treating and healing of wounds.
bleaching agent  A reagent that lightens or whitens a substrate through chemical reaction. Bleaching reactions usually involve oxidative or reductive processes that degrade colour systems. Bleaching can occur by destroying one or more of the double bonds in the conjugated chain, by cleaving the conjugated chain, or by oxidation of one of the other moieties in the conjugated chain. Their reactivity results in many bleaches having strong bactericidal, disinfecting, and sterilising properties.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
