Descripción

General description

A mucolytic agent and thio-based antioxidant. Increases the cellular pool of free-radical scavengers. Inhibits HIV replication. Prevents apoptotic death of neuronal cells. Antidote for acetaminophen poisoning. May serve as a substrate for microsomal glutathione transferase. Induces apoptosis in human and rat smooth muscle cells.

Application

• Chlorpyrifos-induced suppression of the antioxidative defense system leads to cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in macrophages.: The study highlights the protective role of N-acetyl-L-cysteine against chlorpyrifos-induced oxidative damage in macrophages, emphasizing its importance in mitigating pesticide toxicity (Lu et al., 2024).


• N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine Attenuates Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticle (TiO2 NP)-Induced Autophagy in Male Germ Cells.: This research explores how N-acetyl-L-cysteine can mitigate the autophagic effects induced by titanium dioxide nanoparticles in male germ cells, suggesting its use in reproductive health (Shin et al., 2024).
