Roles Classification
Chemical Role(s): Bronsted base
A molecular entity capable of accepting a hydron from a donor (Bronsted acid).
(via organic amino compound )
Biological Role(s): adrenergic uptake inhibitor
Adrenergic uptake inhibitors are drugs that block the transport of adrenergic transmitters into axon terminals or into storage vesicles within terminals. The tricyclic antidepressants and amphetamines are among the therapeutically important drugs that may act via inhibition of adrenergic transport. Many of these drugs also block transport of serotonin.
serotonin uptake inhibitor
A compound that specifically inhibits the reuptake of serotonin in the brain. This increases the serotonin concentration in the synaptic cleft which then activates serotonin receptors to a greater extent.
cholinergic antagonist
Any drug that binds to but does not activate cholinergic receptors, thereby blocking the actions of acetylcholine or cholinergic agonists.
alpha-adrenergic antagonist
An agent that binds to but does not activate alpha-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of endogenous or exogenous alpha-adrenergic agonists. alpha-Adrenergic antagonists are used in the treatment of hypertension, vasospasm, peripheral vascular disease, shock, and pheochromocytoma.
H1-receptor antagonist
H1-receptor antagonists are the drugs that selectively bind to but do not activate histamine H1 receptors, thereby blocking the actions of endogenous histamine.
drug allergen
Any drug which causes the onset of an allergic reaction.
EC 3.1.4.12 (sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase) inhibitor
An EC 3.1.4.* (phosphoric diester hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.12).
EC 3.4.21.26 (prolyl oligopeptidase) inhibitor
Any EC 3.4.21.* (serine endopeptidase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of prolyl oligopeptidase (EC 3.4.21.26).

antidepressant
Antidepressants are mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions.
drug allergen
Any drug which causes the onset of an allergic reaction.
