Roles Classification

Chemical Role:	antioxidant A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
Biological Roles:	carcinogenic agent A role played by a chemical compound which is known to induce a process of carcinogenesis by corrupting normal cellular pathways, leading to the acquistion of tumoral capabilities. human xenobiotic metabolite Any human metabolite produced by metabolism of a xenobiotic compound in humans. Escherichia coli metabolite Any bacterial metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Escherichia coli. 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). mouse metabolite Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus).
Application:	skin lightening agent Any cosmetic used to lighten the colour of skin by reducing the concentration of melanin.
