A chemical antagonist is any substance which neutralises, masks or inhibits the action of another chemical. A good example would be EDTA which effectively "locks up" or "sequesters" metal ions in solution to render them inactive. The term is most often found in Pharmacology where one drug may inhibit the action of another.
