N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant and precursor of glutathione that has multiple effects in cells and animals. As an antioxidant, NAC scavenges hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical, and hypochlorous acid.{32379,32381} NAC may be deacetylated to cysteine, which can be combined with glutamate and glycine to produce reduced glutathione (Item No. 10007461), which serves to reduce hydroperoxides and detoxify xenobiotics.{32379,32381} The free sulfhydryl group of NAC can also hydrolyze disulfide bonds of mucins and other proteins, thus facilitating clearance of mucus.{32384} Through these actions, NAC inhibits DNA adduct formation, limits hepatotoxic effects of acetaminophen, and provides diverse cytoprotective effects in vivo.{32378,32379,32380,32381,32384,32385}
