N-Acetyl-L-cysteine CAS#616-91-1
N-Acetyl-L-cysteine is an N-acetylated derivative of cysteine, which contains a sulfhydryl group in the molecule, which can break the disulfide bond (-S-S-) of the mucin peptide bond, so that the mucin chain becomes a small molecule peptide chain, reducing The viscosity of mucin, so It is a dissolving drug for mucus in mucus, purulent sputum and respiratory tract.

Product Application of N-Acetyl-L-cysteine CAS#616-91-1
An antioxidant mucolytic acetylated amino acid.
N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) is a derivative of the dietary amino acid l-cysteine. NAC has a high affinity for lung tissue, which it supports through mucolytic and antioxidant action. NAC also enhances glutathione production and plays a role in heavy metal detoxification.
