Roles Classification
Chemical Role(s):	environmental contaminant Any minor or unwanted substance introduced into the environment that can have undesired effects.

Biological Role(s):	teratogenic agent A role played by a chemical compound in biological systems with adverse consequences in embryo developments, leading to birth defects, embryo death or altered development, growth retardation and functional defect. metabolite Any intermediate or product resulting from metabolism. The term 'metabolite' subsumes the classes commonly known as primary and secondary metabolites. EC 3.2.1.20 (alpha-glucosidase) inhibitor An EC 3.2.1.* (glycosidase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20).

Application(s):	plasticiser Any compound that is used as an additive to increase the plasticity or fluidity of a substance, particularly but not exclusively to synthetic polymers. endocrine disruptor Any compound that can disrupt the functions of the endocrine (hormone) system (via phthalate ester )
