Roles Classification
Chemical Role(s): antioxidant
A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
(via ferulic acid )
Bronsted acid
A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Bronsted base).
(via oxoacid )
Biological Role(s): plant metabolite
Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
(via ferulic acid )
apoptosis inhibitor
Any substance that inhibits the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in multi-celled organisms.
(via ferulic acid )
Application(s): MALDI matrix material
A compound used to form the matrix for MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization) mass spectrometry. MALDI matrix materials are crystalline compounds with a fairly low molecular weight, so as to allow facile vaporization, have strong absorption at UV or IR wavelengths (to rapidly and efficiently absorb laser irradiation), generally contain polar groups (enabling them to be used in aqueous solutions) and are frequently acidic (so assisting ionisation of the compound being studied, which is contained within the matrix material).
(via ferulic acid )
anti-inflammatory agent
Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
(via ferulic acid )
cardioprotective agent
Any protective agent that is able to prevent damage to the heart.
(via ferulic acid )
