Acetylcysteine (N-Acetylcysteine) is a mucolytic agent which reduces the thickness of the mucus. Acetylcysteine is a ROS inhibitor. Acetylcysteine is a cysteine precursor, prevents hemin-induced ferroptosis by neutralizing toxic lipids generated by arachidonate-dependent activity of 5-lipoxygenases. Acetylcysteine induces cell apoptosis. Acetylcysteine also has anti-influenza virus activities.

体外研究(In Vitro)
Acetylcysteine prevents apoptotic DNA fragmentation and maintains long-term survival in the absence of other trophic support in serum-deprived PC12 cells. Acetylcysteine also prevents death of PC12 cells and sympathetic neurons. Acetylcysteine causes dose-dependent reductions in viability in rat and human aortic smooth muscle cells. Acetylcysteine activates the Ras-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway in PC12 cells. Acetylcysteine protects neuronal cells from death evoked by withdrawal of trophic support. Acetylcysteine increases nitric oxide (NO) release from protein-bound stores in vascular tissue. Acetylcysteine pretreatment of PC12 cells interferes with NGF-dependent signaling and neurite outgrowth, and it is suggested that Acetylcysteine interferes with redox-sensitive steps in the NGF mechanism.Medlife has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods.

体内研究(In Vivo)
Acetylcysteine (150, 300 mg/kg) treatment significantly reduces liver transaminases in all groups of treatment, mostly in group Acetylcysteine 300. Lung glutathione peroxidase is significantly increases in group Acetylcysteine 300 (P=0.04), while the other oxidation biomarkers show no significant differences. Acetylcysteine improves cognition of 12-month-old SAMP8 mice in both the T-maze footshock avoidance paradigm and the lever press appetitive task without inducing non-specific effects on motor activity, motivation to avoid shock, or body weight.Medlife has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods.
