Properties

Mucolytic agent, is a derivative of the amino acid cysteine. It has a mucolytic effect, increases the volume of sputum, facilitates its discharge due to a direct effect on the rheological properties of sputum. The action of acetylcysteine is associated with the ability of its sulfhydryl groups to break intra- and intermolecular disulfide bonds of sputum acid mucopolysaccharides, which leads to depolarization of mucoproteins and a decrease in sputum viscosity.

Reduces induced hyperplasia of mucoid cells, enhances the production of surface-active compounds by stimulating type II pneumocytes, stimulates mucociliary activity, which leads to improved mucociliary clearance.

It remains active in the presence of purulent, mucopurulent and mucous sputum.
