A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans.

An antimicrobial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce.

An agent that suppresses immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-cells or by inhibiting the activation of helper cells. In addition, an immunosuppressive agent is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to diminish the extent and/or voracity of an immune response.

An EC 2.3.1.* (acyltransferase transferring other than amino-acyl group) inhibitor that interferes with the action of serine palmitoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.50).

Any substance that induces the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in multi-celled organisms.

Any eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in fungi, the kingdom that includes microorganisms such as the yeasts and moulds.
