| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Chemical Role: | antioxidant A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides. |
| Biological Roles: | 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). antimicrobial agent A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans. 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 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). 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: | fluorochrome A fluorescent dye used to stain biological specimens. 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. 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. cardioprotective agent Any protective agent that is able to prevent damage to the heart. antidepressant Antidepressants are mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. 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. 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. |
