Acetylcysteine decreases viscosity of secretions and is used as a mucolytic agent in eyes and in bronchial nebulizing solutions. Acetylcysteine is a sulfhydryl compound and acts to increase synthesis of glutathione in the liver. Glutathione subsequently acts as an antioxidant and facilitates conjugation to toxic metabolites, particularly the toxic metabolites of acetaminophen. The antioxidant effects also have been used to treat conditions associated with oxidative stress.
As a donator of the sulfhydryl group, it is used as an antidote for intoxications (e.g., acetaminophen toxicosis in cats). When treating poisoning, it is important that acetylcysteine be administered as soon as possible for optimum effectiveness. Acetylcysteine also has been used to prevent contrast medium-induced nephropathy. Acetylcysteine has been used as a treatment of oxidative stress because it is a scavenger of hydroxyl radicals and hypochlorous acid. Acetylcysteine will reduce cerebral edema.
