muscarinic antagonist
A drug that binds to but does not activate muscarinic cholinergic receptors, thereby blocking the actions of endogenous acetylcholine or exogenous agonists.
EC 1.14.13.181 (13-deoxydaunorubicin hydroxylase) inhibitor
An EC 1.14.13.* (oxidoreductase acting on paired donors, incorporating 1 atom of oxygen, with NADH or NADPH as one donor) inhibitor that interferes with the action of 13-deoxydaunorubicin hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.181).
EC 3.6.3.44 (xenobiotic-transporting ATPase) inhibitor
An EC 3.6.3.* (acid anhydride hydrolase catalysing transmembrane movement of substances) inhibitor that interferes with the action of xenobiotic-transporting ATPase (EC 3.6.3.44).
potassium channel blocker
An agent that inhibits cell membrane glycoproteins that are selectively permeable to potassium ions.
P450 inhibitor
An enzyme inhibitor that interferes with the activity of cytochrome P450 involved in catalysis of organic substances.
sodium channel blocker
An agent that inhibits sodium influx through cell membranes.
alpha-adrenergic antagonist
An agent that binds to but does not activate alpha-adrenergic receptors thereby blocking the actions of endogenous or exogenous alpha-adrenergic agonists. alpha-Adrenergic antagonists are used in the treatment of hypertension, vasospasm, peripheral vascular disease, shock, and pheochromocytoma.
antimalarial
A drug used in the treatment of malaria. Antimalarials are usually classified on the basis of their action against Plasmodia at different stages in their life cycle in the human.
