Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): antiviral agent
A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses.
cofactor
An organic molecule or ion (usually a metal ion) that is required by an enzyme for its activity. It may be attached either loosely (coenzyme) or tightly (prosthetic group).
(via porphyrins )
Application(s): photosensitizing agent
A chemical compound that can be excited by light of a specific wavelength and subsequently transfer energy to a chosen reactant. This is commonly molecular oxygen within a cancer tissue, which is converted to (highly rective) singlet state oxygen. This rapidly reacts with any nearby biomolecules, ultimately killing the cancer cells.
antineoplastic agent
A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
dermatologic drug
A drug used to treat or prevent skin disorders or for the routine care of skin.
