| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Chemical Role: | environmental contaminant Any minor or unwanted substance introduced into the environment that can have undesired effects. |
| 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. anti-obesity agent Any substance which is used to reduce or control weight. 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. |
| Applications: | geroprotector Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan. anti-inflammatory agent Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects. hypoglycemic agent A drug which lowers the blood glucose level. cardiovascular drug A drug that affects the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter or blood volume. anti-anaemic agent A compound which increases either the number of red cells or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood. antineoplastic agent A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. 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. antifibrotic agent Any agent which acts to reduce fibrosis. hypoglycemic agent A drug which lowers the blood glucose level. |
