Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
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.
tyrosine kinase inhibitor  Any protein kinase inhibitor that interferes with the action of tyrosine kinase.
EC 3.1.3.16 (phosphoprotein phosphatase) inhibitor  Any EC 3.1.3.* (phosphoric monoester hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of phosphoprotein phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.16).
anti-HIV agent  An antiviral agent that destroys or inhibits the replication of the human immunodeficiency virus.
EC 1.3.98.1 [dihydroorotate oxidase (fumarate)] inhibitor  An EC 1.3.98.* (oxidoreductase acting on CH-CH group of donors, with other, known, acceptors) inhibitor that interferes with the action of dihydroorotate oxidase (fumarate), EC 1.3.98.1 (formerly EC 1.3.3.1).
hepatotoxic agent  A role played by a chemical compound exhibiting itself through the ability to induce damage to the liver in animals.
antiviral agent  A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses.
pyrimidine synthesis inhibitor  A pathway inhibitor that inhibits the synthesis of pyrimidine.
Applications:
prodrug  A compound that, on administration, must undergo chemical conversion by metabolic processes before becoming the pharmacologically active drug for which it is a prodrug.
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.
ophthalmology drug  Any compound used for the treatment of eye conditions or eye diseases.
antirheumatic drug  A drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
antiparasitic agent  A substance used to treat or prevent parasitic infections.
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.
