Acetylcysteine is a chemical compound derived from the amino acid L-cysteine, with an acetyl group attached to its sulfhydryl (SH) group. It is commonly used as a mucolytic agent and antioxidant.

 

 

1. Pharmaceutical Industry: As a mucolytic agent, Acetylcysteine is used to treat respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and cystic fibrosis, helping to break up and clear mucus from the lungs.
2. Poison Antidote: It is also used as an antidote for acetaminophen (paracetamol) overdose, where it helps to detoxify the harmful metabolite produced by the liver.
3. Cosmetics and Skincare: Acetylcysteine is sometimes incorporated into skincare products due to its antioxidant properties, which may help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.

1. Mucolytic Activity: By breaking down the disulfide bonds in mucus, Acetylcysteine reduces its viscosity and makes it easier to cough up, improving lung function and respiratory comfort.
2. Antioxidant Protection: As an antioxidant, Acetylcysteine scavenges free radicals and protects cells from oxidative stress, which can lead to inflammation and tissue damage.
3. Detoxification: In the context of acetaminophen overdose, Acetylcysteine reacts with the toxic metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) to form a harmless compound, thereby preventing liver damage and other potential toxicity.
