N-Acetyl-S-(2-hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteine

Description:
N-Acetyl-S-(2-hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteine, commonly referred to as N-acetylcysteine (NAC) derivative, is a modified amino acid with notable biochemical properties. It features a thiol group, which contributes to its antioxidant capabilities, allowing it to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. The presence of the acetyl group enhances its solubility and stability, making it more bioavailable compared to its parent compound, cysteine. This compound is often utilized in pharmaceutical formulations and dietary supplements due to its potential therapeutic effects, including mucolytic properties, which help in breaking down mucus, and its role in supporting liver function and detoxification processes. Additionally, it may have implications in treating respiratory conditions and certain psychiatric disorders. The 2-hydroxyethyl side chain adds to its hydrophilicity, facilitating its interaction with biological systems. Overall, N-acetyl-S-(2-hydroxyethyl)-L-cysteine is recognized for its multifunctional roles in health and medicine, particularly in antioxidant defense and cellular protection.
