Chemical Information
FooDB NameN-Acetyl-L-cysteine
DescriptionEffective inhibitor of enzymic browning in foods [DFC] N-Acetyl-L-cysteine is a pharmaceutical drug and nutritional supplement used primarily as a mucolytic agent and in the management of paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose. Other uses include sulfate repletion in conditions, such as autism, where cysteine and related sulfur amino acids may be depleted. N-Acetyl-L-cysteine is a precursor in the formation of the antioxidant glutathione in the body. The thiol group confers antioxidant effects and is able to reduce free radicals. [Wikipedia].
