Roles Classification
Chemical Role(s): radical scavenger
A role played by a substance that can react readily with, and thereby eliminate, radicals.
Biological Role(s): sensitiser
A chemical compound that causes a substantial proportion of exposed people or animals to develop an allergic reaction in normal tissue after repeated exposure to the compound.
human blood serum metabolite
Any metabolite (endogenous or exogenous) found in human blood serum samples.
allergen
A chemical compound, or part thereof, which causes the onset of an allergic reaction by interacting with any of the molecular pathways involved in an allergy.
volatile oil component
Any plant metabolite that is found naturally as a component of a volatile oil.
flavouring agent
A food additive that is used to added improve the taste or odour of a food.
EC 1.4.3.4 (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor
An EC 1.4.3.* (oxidoreductase acting on donor CH-NH2 group, oxygen as acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of monoamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.4).
antibacterial agent
A substance (or active part thereof) that kills or slows the growth of bacteria.
apoptosis inducer
Any substance that induces the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in multi-celled organisms.
analgesic
An agent capable of relieving pain without the loss of consciousness or without producing anaesthesia. In addition, analgesic is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to cause a reduction of pain symptoms.
voltage-gated sodium channel blocker
Any sodium channel blocker that interferes with the activity of voltage-gated sodium channels.
NF-kappaB inhibitor
An inhibitor of NF-kappaB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells), a protein complex involved in the transcription of DNA.
Application(s): flavouring agent
A food additive that is used to added improve the taste or odour of a food.
antineoplastic agent
A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
anaesthetic
Substance which produces loss of feeling or sensation.
analgesic
An agent capable of relieving pain without the loss of consciousness or without producing anaesthesia. In addition, analgesic is a role played by a compound which is exhibited by a capability to cause a reduction of pain symptoms.
anti-inflammatory agent
Any compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
