Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
food antioxidant  An antioxidant that used as a food additives to help guard against food deterioration.
antimicrobial food preservative  A food preservative which prevents decomposition of food by preventing the growth of fungi or bacteria. In European countries, E-numbers for permitted food preservatives are from E200 to E299, divided into sorbates (E200-209), benzoates (E210-219), sulfites (E220-229), phenols and formates (E230-239), nitrates (E240-259), acetates (E260-269), lactates (E270-279), propionates (E280-289) and others (E290-299).
Biological Roles:
antimalarial  A drug used in the treatment of malaria. Antimalarials are usually classified on the basis of their action against Plasmodia at different stages in their life cycle in the human.
food antioxidant  An antioxidant that used as a food additives to help guard against food deterioration.
poison  Any substance that causes disturbance to organisms by chemical reaction or other activity on the molecular scale, when a sufficient quantity is absorbed by the organism.
antimicrobial food preservative  A food preservative which prevents decomposition of food by preventing the growth of fungi or bacteria. In European countries, E-numbers for permitted food preservatives are from E200 to E299, divided into sorbates (E200-209), benzoates (E210-219), sulfites (E220-229), phenols and formates (E230-239), nitrates (E240-259), acetates (E260-269), lactates (E270-279), propionates (E280-289) and others (E290-299).
Applications:
geroprotector  Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan.
antidote to cyanide poisoning  A role borne by a molecule that acts to counteract or neutralize the deleterious effects of cyanide.
antimalarial  A drug used in the treatment of malaria. Antimalarials are usually classified on the basis of their action against Plasmodia at different stages in their life cycle in the human.
hypoglycemic agent  A drug which lowers the blood glucose level.

antihypertensive agent  Any drug used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular hypertension regardless of pharmacological mechanism.
anti-anaemic agent  A compound which increases either the number of red cells or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood.
food antioxidant  An antioxidant that used as a food additives to help guard against food deterioration.
renoprotective agent  Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the kidneys.
anti-asthmatic agent  Any compound that has anti-asthmatic effects.
