This product is an N-acetylated derivative of cysteine. The molecule contains a sulfhydryl group, which can break the disulfide bond (-SS-) of the mucin peptide bond, thereby turning the mucin chain into a small molecule peptide chain. The viscosity of mucin, so this product is a dissolving drug for mucus, purulent sputum, and respiratory mucus.
1. Biological reagents, bulk drugs, the sulfhydryl group (-SH) contained in the molecule can break the disulfide chain (-S-S) that connects the mucin peptide chain in mucus sputum. Mucin becomes a peptide chain of small molecules, reducing the viscosity of sputum; it can also break DNA fibers in purulent sputum, so it can not only dissolve white viscous sputum but also purulent sputum.
2. In medicine, it is used as a phlegm dissolving medicine. It is used in biochemical research, as a phlegm solubilizer and an antidote for acetaminophen poisoning in medicine.
3. For biochemical research, it is used as an antidote for sputum dissolving medicine and acetaminophen poisoning in medicine.
4. Biochemical reagents, medicines, this product is used as an expectorant, which is easy to cleanse phlegm and easy to cough. It has a decomposing effect on viscous sputum. The mechanism of action is that the sulfhydryl group contained in the product's molecular structure can break the disulfide bond in the mucin polypeptide chain in mucinous sputum, decompose the mucin, reduce the viscosity of the sputum, and make it liquefied and easy to cough up. It is suitable for patients with acute and chronic respiratory diseases whose sputum is thick and difficult to cough up, as well as a large number of sticky sputum blockages that cause severe symptoms due to difficulty in sucking.
