| 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. |
| Applications: | antineoplastic agent A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. ophthalmology drug Any compound used for the treatment of eye conditions or eye diseases. immunosuppressive agent An agent that suppresses immune function by one of several mechanisms of action.
