Roles Classification
Biological Roles:
antiviral agent  A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses.
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.
antimicrobial agent  A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans.
Applications:
anti-asthmatic agent  Any compound that has anti-asthmatic effects.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
