Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
Bronsted acid  A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Brønsted base).
Biological Roles:
teratogenic agent  A role played by a chemical compound in biological systems with adverse consequences in embryo developments, leading to birth defects, embryo death or altered development, growth retardation and functional defect.
non-narcotic analgesic  A drug that has principally analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory actions. Non-narcotic analgesics do not bind to opioid receptors.
EC 1.1.1.188 (prostaglandin-F synthase) inhibitor  An EC 1.1.1.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-OH group, NAD+ or NADP+ acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of prostaglandin-F synthase (EC 1.1.1.188).
cyclooxygenase 1 inhibitor  A cyclooxygenase inhibitor that interferes with the action of cyclooxygenase 1.
cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor  A cyclooxygenase inhibitor that interferes with the action of cyclooxygenase 2.
drug allergen  Any drug which causes the onset of an allergic reaction.
prostaglandin antagonist  A compound that inhibits the action of prostaglandins.
Applications:
geroprotector  Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan.
plant activator  Any compound that protects plants by activating their defence mechanisms.
non-narcotic analgesic  A drug that has principally analgesic, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory actions. Non-narcotic analgesics do not bind to opioid receptors.
platelet aggregation inhibitor  A drug or agent which antagonizes or impairs any mechanism leading to blood platelet aggregation, whether during the phases of activation and shape change or following the dense-granule release reaction and stimulation of the prostaglandin-thromboxane system.
anticoagulant  An agent that prevents blood clotting.
drug allergen  Any drug which causes the onset of an allergic reaction.
antipyretic  A drug that prevents or reduces fever by lowering the body temperature from a raised state. An antipyretic will not affect the normal body temperature if one does not have fever. Antipyretics cause the hypothalamus to override an interleukin-induced increase in temperature. The body will then work to lower the temperature and the result is a reduction in fever.
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.
prostaglandin antagonist  A compound that inhibits the action of prostaglandins.
