UNSPSC Description
Acetylcysteine (N-Acetylcysteine) extracted from plants is derived from plants and is an antioxidant and mucolytic agent that enhances the reserve of free radical scavengers in cells. It has been reported to prevent neuronal apoptosis while inducing apoptosis in smooth muscle cells. In addition, it inhibits HIV replication and serves as a substrate for microsomal glutathione transferase. This endogenous aminothiol is found in human plasma and urine and is commonly used as a mucolytic agent in clinical settings, usually administered by inhalation.
