Roles Classification
Biological Role(s): antiviral agent
A substance that destroys or inhibits replication of viruses.
EC 5.99.1.2 (DNA topoisomerase) inhibitor
A topoisomerase inhibitor that inhibits the bacterial enzymes of the DNA topoisomerases, Type I class (EC 5.99.1.2) that catalyze ATP-independent breakage of one of the two strands of DNA, passage of the unbroken strand through the break, and rejoining of the broken strand. These bacterial enzymes reduce the topological stress in the DNA structure by relaxing negatively, but not positively, supercoiled DNA.
Penicillium metabolite
Any fungal metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Penicillium.
antimicrobial agent
A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans.
Application(s): antineoplastic agent
A substance that inhibits or prevents the proliferation of neoplasms.
