Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): leukotriene antagonist
A drug designed to prevent leukotriene synthesis or activity by blocking binding at the receptor level.
EC 1.13.11.34 (arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase) inhibitor
A lipoxygenase inhibitor that interferes with the action of arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (EC 1.13.11.34).
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.
Application(s): leukotriene antagonist
A drug designed to prevent leukotriene synthesis or activity by blocking binding at the receptor level.
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug
An anti-inflammatory drug that is not a steroid. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins.
anti-asthmatic drug
A drug used to treat asthma.
