Roles (16)

RoleDescription
volatile oil componentAny plant metabolite that is found naturally as a component of a volatile oil.
antiviral agentA substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses.
insecticideStrictly, a substance intended to kill members of the class Insecta. In common usage, any substance used for preventing, destroying, repelling or controlling insects.
anti-inflammatory agentAny compound that has anti-inflammatory effects.
antioxidantA substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides.
antineoplastic agentA substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
apoptosis inducerAny substance that induces the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in multi-celled organisms.
autophagy inducerAny compound that induces the process of autophagy (the self-digestion of one or more components of a cell through the action of enzymes originating within the same cell).
antimicrobial agentA substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans.
androgen antagonistA compound which inhibits or antagonises the biosynthesis or actions of androgens.
neuroprotective agentAny compound that can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
plant metaboliteAny eukaryotic metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in plants, the kingdom that include flowering plants, conifers and other gymnosperms.
antifungal agentAn antimicrobial agent that destroys fungi by suppressing their ability to grow or reproduce.
antitussiveAn agent that suppresses cough. Antitussives have a central or a peripheral action on the cough reflex, or a combination of both. Compare with expectorants, which are considered to increase the volume of secretions in the respiratory tract, so facilitating their removal by ciliary action and coughing, and mucolytics, which decrease the viscosity of mucus, facilitating its removal by ciliary action and expectoration.
antifeedantA substance that prevents pests from feeding.
hepatoprotective agentAny compound that is able to prevent damage to the liver.
