Roles (2)

RoleDescription
carcinogenic agentA role played by a chemical compound which is known to induce a process of carcinogenesis by corrupting normal cellular pathways, leading to the acquistion of tumoral capabilities.
refrigerantA substance used in a thermodynamic heat pump cycle or refrigeration cycle that undergoes a phase change from a gas to a liquid and back. Refrigerants are used in air-conditioning systems and freezers or refrigerators and are assigned a "R" number (by ASHRAE - formerly the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers), which is determined systematically according to their molecular structure.

Drug Classes (2)

ClassDescription
chlorocarbonCompounds consisting wholly of chlorine and carbon.
chloroethanesA chloroalkane that is ethane in which one or more of the hydrogens is replaced by chlorine.
