| 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: | geroprotector Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan. hypoglycemic agent A drug which lowers the blood glucose level. immunosuppressive agent An agent that suppresses immune function by one of several mechanisms of action.
