Properties and Usage:
N-acetyl-L-cysteine is an acetylated derivative of cysteine. It has strong antioxidant, mucolytic and detoxifying functions and is commonly used in medicine, skin care, industry and scientific research.
1. Pharmaceutical field
Antioxidants:
NAC is an effective antioxidant that helps prevent and treat related diseases by increasing glutathione levels in the body and reducing oxidative stress caused by free radicals. It is especially effective in improving cell function and preventing cell damage.
Respiratory disease treatment:
NAC can effectively reduce the viscosity of sputum, dilute phlegm, and promote respiratory tract cleaning. It is widely used in patients with chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory diseases to relieve symptoms of dyspnea.
Antidote:
NAC is a commonly used antidote in cases of acute acetaminophen (paracetamol) poisoning. It restores glutathione levels in the liver, helps reduce toxic damage from medications, and protects liver health.
2. Skin care
Anti-aging:
Because NAC has strong antioxidant capacity, it can delay skin aging, enhance skin elasticity, reduce skin damage caused by oxidative stress, and make the skin more energetic when used in skin care products.
Treat skin diseases:
NAC has also shown promise in research into some skin diseases. For example, it may help treat acne, reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, and improve skin condition.
3. Industrial and scientific research
Laboratory reagents:
In biochemical and medical research, NAC is used as a laboratory trial to study cellular oxidative stress and antioxidant mechanisms.
Protective agent:
In industrial applications, NAC is used as a protectant or stabilizer to prevent oxidation of chemicals, extending the shelf life of products and maintaining consistent performance.
4. Nutritional supplements
Nutritional supplements:
As an antioxidant, NAC is used in dietary supplements to help increase glutathione levels in the body, enhance immune function and antioxidant capacity..
