Description

N,N'-Diacetyl-L-cystine (NAC) is a cysteine derivative that is used in the preparation of samples for analysis by liquid chromatography. It has been shown to have an antiatherogenic effect in chronic bronchitis patients and has been found to be a growth factor, inhibiting apoptosis and stimulating cell proliferation. NAC also increases the activity of aminotransferases in serum samples, which can be used as an indicator of liver health. Its chemical stability and low toxicity make it an ideal candidate for use as a pharmaceutical preparation at doses below those required for its enzyme-stimulating effects.
