Bronsted base  A molecular entity capable of accepting a hydron from a donor (Brønsted acid).
Biological Roles:
metabolite  Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites.
cholecystokinin antagonist  A hormone antagonist that inhibits the action of the peptide hormone cholecystokinin.
hormone  Originally referring to an endogenous compound that is formed in specialized organ or group of cells and carried to another organ or group of cells, in the same organism, upon which it has a specific regulatory function, the term is now commonly used to include non-endogenous, semi-synthetic and fully synthetic analogues of such compounds.
Application:
cholecystokinin antagonist  A hormone antagonist that inhibits the action of the peptide hormone cholecystokinin.
