Product Description
N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC)/ N-Acetylcysteine CAS 616-91-1
Product Overview

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H9NO3S, primarily used as a mucolytic agent with strong mucus and phlegm dissolving effects. The sulfhydryl group in its molecular structure breaks disulfide bonds in glycoprotein polypeptide chains, reducing phlegm viscosity and facilitating liquefaction for easier expulsion. It also breaks DNA fibers in purulent sputum, making it effective for both white mucous and purulent sputum cases.

Key Benefits
  • Strong mucolytic agent
  • Reduces phlegm viscosity
  • Liquefies phlegm for easier expulsion
  • Effective for both white mucous and purulent sputum
