Acetylcysteine is a precursor for the synthesis of glutathione. Its presence in the body promotes the synthesis of such important antioxidant in the liver. For this reason, acetylcysteine is regarded as a hepatoprotectant. Most of the beneficial effects of orally-administered acetylcysteine are said to be a result of its ability to either reduce extracellular cystine to cysteine or being a source of sulfhydryl (-SH) group metabolites.
As a source of SH groups, acetylcysteine can stimulate the synthesis of glutathione, enhance glutathione-S-transferase activity, promote detoxification and act directly on reactive oxygen species. It has also shown beneficial effects to individuals with conditions related to lowering of glutathione levels, including HIV infection, cancer, heart disease and cigarette smoking.
