ChEBI

A substance that removes electrons from another reactant in a redox reaction.

A substance capable of undergoing rapid and highly exothermic decomposition.

Any bacterial metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Escherichia coli.

Any fungal metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ).

Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in a mouse (Mus musculus).

An antimicrobial agent that is applied to non-living objects to destroy harmful microorganisms or to inhibit their activity.

A substance that kills or slows the growth of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoans.

An organic molecule or ion (usually a metal ion) that is required by an enzyme for its activity. It may be attached either loosely (coenzyme) or tightly (prosthetic group).

Any human metabolite produced by metabolism of a xenobiotic compound in humans.

Any substance that induces the process of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in multi-celled organisms.

A compound that inhibits the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid.

A poison that interferes with the functions of the nervous system.

A role played by a chemical compound to induce direct or indirect DNA damage. Such damage can potentially lead to the formation of a malignant tumour, but DNA damage does not lead inevitably to the creation of cancerous cells.

Any agent that induces nausea and vomiting.

A substance used as an indicator of a biological state.

A compound that inhibits the action of gamma-aminobutyric acid.

A reagent that lightens or whitens a substrate through chemical reaction. Bleaching reactions usually involve oxidative or reductive processes that degrade colour systems. Bleaching can occur by destroying one or more of the double bonds in the conjugated chain, by cleaving the conjugated chain, or by oxidation of one of the other moieties in the conjugated chain. Their reactivity results in many bleaches having strong bactericidal, disinfecting, and sterilising properties.
