| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Chemical Role: | antioxidant A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides. |
| Biological Roles: | antimicrobial agent A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans. EC 1.4.3.4 (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor An EC 1.4.3.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-NH2 group, oxygen as acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of monoamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.4). EC 3.1.1.8 (cholinesterase) inhibitor An EC 3.1.1.* (carboxylic ester hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8). EC 4.6.1.2 (guanylate cyclase) inhibitor An EC 4.6.* (P‒O lyase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of enzyme guanylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.2). antimalarial A drug used in the treatment of malaria. Antimalarials are usually classified on the basis of their action against Plasmodia at different stages in their life cycle in the human. |
| Applications: | histological dye A dye used in microscopic or electron microscopic examination of cells and tissues to give contrast and to highlight particular features of interest, such as nuclei and cytoplasm. cardioprotective agent Any protective agent that is able to prevent damage to the heart. acid-base indicator An acid or base which exhibits a colour change on neutralization by the basic or acidic titrant at or near the equivalence point of a titration. neuroprotective agent Any compound that can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. physical tracer A physical tracer is one that is attached by physical means to the object being traced. antimalarial A drug used in the treatment of malaria. Antimalarials are usually classified on the basis of their action against Plasmodia at different stages in their life cycle in the human. fluorochrome A fluorescent dye used to stain biological specimens. antidepressant Antidepressants are mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. |
