Inhibitors can be classified into several types based on their origin and function:
Natural Inhibitors: These are found in nature and can affect biological processes. Examples include various enzyme inhibitors found in plants and animals. Synthetic Inhibitors: These are man-made and designed for specific purposes, such as pharmaceuticals that target specific enzymes to treat diseases. Corrosion Inhibitors: These are used to prevent or reduce the corrosion of metals, often by forming a protective film on the metal surface. Environmental Inhibitors: These inhibit undesirable reactions in environmental processes, such as inhibiting the formation of certain pollutants.
