Roles Classification
Application(s): antineoplastic agent
A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
photosensitizing agent
A chemical compound that can be excited by light of a specific wavelength and subsequently transfer energy to a chosen reactant. This is commonly molecular oxygen within a cancer tissue, which is converted to (highly rective) singlet state oxygen. This rapidly reacts with any nearby biomolecules, ultimately killing the cancer cells.
dermatologic drug
A drug used to treat or prevent skin disorders or for the routine care of skin.
prodrug
A compound that, on administration, must undergo chemical conversion by metabolic processes before becoming the pharmacologically active drug for which it is a prodrug.
