Roles (3)

RoleDescription
alpha-adrenergic agonistAn agent that selectively binds to and activates alpha-adrenergic receptors.
marine metaboliteAny metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in marine macro- and microorganisms.
animal metaboliteAny eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in animals that include diverse creatures from sponges, insects to mammals.

Drug Classes (3)

ClassDescription
guanidinesAny organonitrogen compound containing a carbamimidamido (guanidino) group. Guanidines have the general structure (R(1)R(2)N)(R(3)R(4)N)C=N-R(5) and are related structurally to amidines and ureas.
alkaloidAny of the naturally occurring, basic nitrogen compounds (mostly heterocyclic) occurring mostly in the plant kingdom, but also found in bacteria, fungi, and animals. By extension, certain neutral compounds biogenetically related to basic alkaloids are also classed as alkaloids. Amino acids, peptides, proteins, nucleotides, nucleic acids, amino sugars and antibiotics are not normally regarded as alkaloids. Compounds in which the nitrogen is exocyclic (dopamine, mescaline, serotonin, etc.) are usually classed as amines rather than alkaloids.
organobromine compoundA compound containing at least one carbon-bromine bond.
