The action of N-acetyl-L-cysteine cannot be described in a few words. To explain how NAC works, you must first explain what glutathione is. Well, glutathione is a tripeptide made of glycine, glutamic acid and cysteine, which is found in many body tissues and fluids, where it participates in oxidation and reduction reactions. In this way, it has a protective effect on cells. Reactive oxygen species are mainly produced in cells as a by-product of normal mitochondrial metabolism and also contribute to the initiation of apoptosis or cell death. Glutathione is involved in the regulation of apoptosis; it plays an important role as a substrate for enzymes that capture these reactive oxygen species. Well, N-acetyl-L-cysteine is a precursor of intracellular cysteine and therefore of glutathione, because cysteine affects its synthesis. It is generally accepted that NAC is due to its antioxidant or free radical scavenging properties by increasing intracellular cysteine levels. The availability of cysteine may limit the rate of glutathione synthesis during oxidative stress. N-acetyl-L-cysteine is an acetylated cysteine residue that may increase cellular protection against oxidative stress. NAC through a cysteine compound can minimize the oxidative effect of reactive oxygen species by correcting or preventing depletion of glutathione reserves.
