Roles Classification
Chemical Roles:
radical scavenger  A role played by a substance that can react readily with, and thereby eliminate, radicals.
NMR chemical shift reference compound  Any compound that produces a peak used as reference frequency in the δ chemical shift scale.
Biological Role:
antithyroid drug  A drug used to treat hyperthyroidism by reducing the excessive production of thyroid hormones.
Applications:
expectorant  Compounds that are considered to increase the volume of secretions in the respiratory tract, so facilitating their removal by ciliary action and coughing. Compare with mucolytics, which decrease the viscosity of mucus, facilitating its removal by ciliary action and expectoration, and antitussives, which suppress the cough reflex.
antithyroid drug  A drug used to treat hyperthyroidism by reducing the excessive production of thyroid hormones.
antineoplastic agent  A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
NMR chemical shift reference compound  Any compound that produces a peak used as reference frequency in the δ chemical shift scale.
ophthalmology drug  Any compound used for the treatment of eye conditions or eye diseases.
anti-anaemic agent  A compound which increases either the number of red cells or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood.
