| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Biological Role: | 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. |
| Applications: | antiglaucoma drug Any drug which can be used to prevent or alleviate glaucoma, a disease in which the optic nerve is damaged, resulting in progressive, irreversible loss of vision. It is often, though not always, associated with increased pressure of the fluid in the eye. ophthalmology drug Any compound used for the treatment of eye conditions or eye diseases. 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.
