a review on various uses of n-acetyl cysteine
Authors
abstract
n-acetyl cysteine (nac), as a nutritional supplement, is a greatly applied antioxidant in vivo and in vitro. nac is a precursor of l-cysteine that results in glutathione elevation biosynthesis. it acts directly as a scavenger of free radicals, especially oxygen radicals. nac is a powerful antioxidant. it is also recommended as a potential treatment option for different disorders resulted from generation of free oxygen radicals. additionally, it is a protected and endured mucolytic drug that mellows tenacious mucous discharges. it has been used for treatment of various diseases in a direct action or in a combination with some other medications. this paper presents a review on various applications of nac in treatment of several diseases.

Objective- Mechanisms that decrease oxidative stress and enhance peritoneal fibrinolysis reduce adhesions. N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant whose effect on peritoneal fibrinolysis in large animal model has not been established. The aims of this study were to investigate the ability of NAC to decreased adhesion in stablished model of serosal trauma in sheep. Design- Expe...

Objective(s): Staphylococcus epidermidis is a common cause of medical device-associated infections due to biofilm formation, and its elimination is extremely challenging. Although rifampin efficacy against S. epidermidis biofilms has been confirmed, its use as a single agent may lead to resistance. As such, it is assumed that the combination of rifampin and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) could exert ad...

Combined therapy with clarithromycin (CLTR) and N–acetyl cysteine (NAC) may be useful in diseases with impaired oxidant-antioxidant balance, fibroblast proliferation, and collagen deposition such as pulmonary fibrosis. Activated inflammatory cells which accumulate in the lower airways may release increased amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) when accompanied with a deficiency in glut...

Objective Chlorpyrifos (CPF), an organophosphate pesticide, is widely used in farms in order to preserve crops and fruits. Previous studies have shown that CPF exposure might cause chronic toxicity in male genital system. The present study investigated the protective effect of N- Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), a potent antioxidant against toxicity effect of CPF in male mice. MaterialsAndMethods in an e...
