Roles Classification
Chemical Role:
antioxidant  A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
Biological Roles:
antimicrobial agent  A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans.
antifungal agent  An antimicrobial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce.
autophagy inducer  Any compound that induces the process of autophagy (the self-digestion of one or more components of a cell through the action of enzymes originating within the same cell).
apoptosis inducer  Any substance that induces the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in multi-celled organisms.
volatile oil component  Any plant metabolite that is found naturally as a component of a volatile oil.
androgen antagonist  A compound which inhibits or antagonises the biosynthesis or actions of androgens.
plant metabolite  Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
antiviral agent  A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses.
Applications:
anti-inflammatory agent  Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
antifeedant  A substance that prevents pests from feeding.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
antitussive  An agent that suppresses cough. Antitussives have a central or a peripheral action on the cough reflex, or a combination of both. Compare with expectorants, which are considered to increase the volume of secretions in the respiratory tract, so facilitating their removal by ciliary action and coughing, and mucolytics, which decrease the viscosity of mucus, facilitating its removal by ciliary action and expectoration.
neuroprotective agent  Any compound that can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
hepatoprotective agent  Any compound that is able to prevent damage to the liver.
androgen antagonist  A compound which inhibits or antagonises the biosynthesis or actions of androgens.
insecticide  Strictly, a substance intended to kill members of the class Insecta. In common usage, any substance used for preventing, destroying, repelling or controlling insects.
