Natural Product Identification
Common NameAcetylcysteine
DescriptionAcetylcysteine is the N-acetyl derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine, and is a precursor in the formation of the antioxidant glutathione in the body. The thiol (sulfhydryl) group confers antioxidant effects and is able to reduce free radicals. Wikipedia. It is used as a mucolytic agent to reduce the viscosity of mucous secretions. It has also been shown to have antiviral effects in patients with HIV due to inhibition of viral stimulation by reactive oxygen intermediates. Acetylcysteine is a pharmacological agent used in the management of paracetamol overdose. For these indications, acetylcysteine is available under the trade names Mucomyst (Bristol-Myers Squibb) and Parvolex.
