Roles Classification
Chemical Role(s):	inorganic acid A Bronsted acid derived from one or more inorganic compounds. Inorganic acids (also known as mineral acids) form hydrons and conjugate base ions when dissolved in water. (via halogen oxoacid ) Bronsted acid A molecular entity capable of donating a hydron to an acceptor (Bronsted base). (via oxoacid )

Biological Role(s):	human metabolite Any mammalian metabolite produced during a metabolic reaction in humans (Homo sapiens). EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor An EC 3.1.1.* (carboxylic ester hydrolase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of enzyme acetylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.7), which helps breaking down of acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid. EC 2.5.1.18 (glutathione transferase) inhibitor An EC 2.5.1.* (non-methyl-alkyl or aryl transferase) inhibitor that interferes with the action of a glutathione transferase (EC 2.5.1.18).
