Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): antibacterial agent
A substance (or active part thereof) that kills or slows the growth of bacteria.
alkylating agent
Highly reactive chemical that introduces alkyl radicals into biologically active molecules and thereby prevents their proper functioning. It could be used as an antineoplastic agent, but it might be very toxic, with carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, and immunosuppressant actions. It could also be used as a component of poison gases.
bacterial metabolite
Any prokaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in bacteria.
Application(s): antineoplastic agent
A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
