| Roles Classification |
|---|
| Biological Roles: | antibacterial agent A substance (or active part thereof) that kills or slows the growth of bacteria. 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. antiviral agent A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses. |
| Applications: | anti-anaemic agent A compound which increases either the number of red cells or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood. antidepressant Antidepressants are mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions. 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. anticonvulsant A drug used to prevent seizures or reduce their severity. antipsychotic agent Antipsychotic drugs are agents that control agitated psychotic behaviour, alleviate acute psychotic states, reduce psychotic symptoms, and exert a quieting effect. 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. cardiovascular drug A drug that affects the rate or intensity of cardiac contraction, blood vessel diameter or blood volume. |
