N-Acetyl L-Cysteine (NAC) is a stable acetylated derivative of cysteine, primarily synthesized via enzymatic hydrolysis or chemical synthesis. It serves as a glutathione precursor and mucolytic agent. Molecular Formula: C5H9NO3S; CAS No.: 616-91-1.
Requires storage in cool, dry conditions below 25°C to prevent degradation. Clinical use demands monitoring for hypersensitivity reactions and potential bronchospasm in asthmatics during nebulization.
