Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): insulin-sensitizing drug
An agent which overcomes insulin resistance by activation of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma).
EC 2.7.1.33 (pantothenate kinase) inhibitor
An EC 2.7.1.* (phosphotransferases with an alcohol group as acceptor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of pantothenate kinase (EC 2.7.1.33).
xenobiotic
A xenobiotic (Greek, xenos "foreign"; bios "life") is a compound that is foreign to a living organism. Principal xenobiotics include: drugs, carcinogens and various compounds that have been introduced into the environment by artificial means.
EC 6.2.1.3 (long-chain-fatty-acid--CoA ligase) inhibitor
An EC 6.2.1.* (acid-thiol ligase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of a long-chain-fatty-acidCoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.3).
ferroptosis inhibitor
Any substance that inhibits the process of ferroptosis (a type of programmed cell death dependent on iron and characterized by the accumulation of lipid peroxides) in organisms.
PPARgamma agonist
A PPAR modulator which activates the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma.
Application(s): insulin-sensitizing drug
An agent which overcomes insulin resistance by activation of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma).
geroprotector
Any compound that supports healthy aging, slows the biological aging process, or extends lifespan.
hypoglycemic agent
A drug which lowers the blood glucose level.
cardioprotective agent
Any protective agent that is able to prevent damage to the heart.
antidepressant
Antidepressants are mood-stimulating drugs used primarily in the treatment of affective disorders and related conditions.
