Acetylcysteine is a mucolytic agent used in the treatment and diagnosis of pulmonary diseases.
Acetylcysteine breaks up abnormal, thick and sticky mucus in the respiratory tract, reducing its viscosity and making it easier to cough up and clear from the lungs. Acetylcysteine also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Acetylcysteine lowers mucus viscosity by splitting the disulfide bonds of mucoproteins, which are vital for their structure and stability. Acetylcysteine is an antioxidant that protects the lungs by scavenging free radicals generated by inflammatory cells. Acetylcysteine also provides cysteine, an essential component of glutathione, the natural antioxidant in the body.
