Anti cholesteremic 181 Anti elastase 250 A compound or agent that combines with an enzyme in such a manner as to prevent the normal substrate-enzyme combination and the catalytic reaction. Anti hypercholesterolemic 342 Anti hyperglycemic 343 Anti hyperlipidemic 348 Any substance introduced into a living organism with therapeutic or diagnostic purpose. Anti hypertensive 352 Any substance introduced into a living organism with therapeutic or diagnostic purpose. Anti metastatic 434 A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. Anti neoplastic 465 A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. Anti peroxidative 520 Anti-acid 77 Anti-aging 95 Any substance introduced into a living organism with therapeutic or diagnostic purpose. Anti-allergic 103 A drug used to treat allergic reactions. Anti-arteriosclerotic 130 A drug used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. Anti-arrhythmia drugs may affect the polarisation-repolarisation phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibres.

Anti-infective 368 Any substance introduced into a living organism with therapeutic or diagnostic purpose. Anti-inflammatory 370 A substance that reduces or suppresses inflammation. Anti-mutagenic 451 Anti-oxidant 502 A substance that opposes oxidation or inhibits reactions brought about by dioxygen or peroxides. In European countries, E-numbers for permitted antioxidant food additives are from E 300 to E 324. Anti-proliferative 548 Anti-viral 689 A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses.

Cardiovascular 773 A drug used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. Anti-arrhythmia drugs may affect the polarisation-repolarisation phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibres. Chemopreventive 796 A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms. Cytoprotective 857 Cytotoxic 859 A role played by the molecular entity or part thereof which causes the development of a pathological process. DNA-protective 887 Hyaluronidase inhibitor 998 A compound or agent that combines with an enzyme in such a manner as to prevent the normal substrate-enzyme combination and the catalytic reaction. Hypocholesterolemic 1016 Hypoglycemic 1017 A drug which lowers the blood glucose level. Hypolipidemic 1020 Hypotensive 1021 Immunomodulator 1031 Biologically active substance whose activity affects or plays a role in the functioning of the immune system. Immunostimulant 1032 A substance that augments, stimulates, activates, potentiates, or modulates the immune response at either the cellular or humoral level. A classical agent (Freund's adjuvant, BCG, Corynebacterium parvum, et al.) contains bacterial antigens. It could also be endogenous (e.g., histamine, interferon, transfer factor, tuftsin, interleukin-1). Its mode of action is either non-specific, resulting in increased immune responsiveness to a wide variety of antigens, or antigen-specific, i.e., affecting a restricted type of immune response to a narrow group of antigens. The therapeutic efficacy is related to its antigen-specific immunoadjuvanticity. Inhibitor 1432 A substance that diminishes the rate of a chemical reaction. Nephrotoxic 1148 A role played by a chemical compound exihibiting itself through the ability to induce damage to the kidney in animals. Neuroprotective 1158 Any compound that can be used for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. Prebiotic 1240
