N-Acetyl-D-cysteine

Research use only, not for human use.

N-Acetyl-D-cysteine has antioxidant activities and scavenges ROS through the reaction with its thiol group.

N-Acetyl-D-cysteine has antioxidant activities and scavenges ROS through the reaction with its thiol group.(In Vitro):Consistent with the known stereoselectivity of many biological processes, the unnatural D isomer of N-acetylcysteine failed to increase hepatic glutathione. Liver concentrations remained similar to control suggesting that the D isomer was unable to increase the rate of glutathione synthesis. The D isomer further differed from its L enantiomer in failing to increase the plasma concentration and the urinary excretion of inorganic sulfate. Congruent with these observations, much more N-acetyl-D-cysteine (47% of dose) was recovered unchanged in 24 hr urine than N-acetyl-L-cysteine (6.1% of dose).

N-Acetyl-D-cysteine (20 mM; 1 hour pretreatment; 12 hours) does not increase intracellular GSH levels, but GSH monoester does. D-NAC can not enhance hypoxic apoptosis. This demonstrate that GSH rather thanD-NAC or NAC is responsible for enhancing hypoxic apoptosis.
