Product Data
Biological target:
N-Monoacetylcystine is an antidote for paracetamol poisoning.
In vitro activity:
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) significantly reduced only nonmetal hapten-induced cell death as assessed by propidium iodide exclusion. NAC reduced cell death and ATP release, whereas antioxidants and Panx inhibitors did not inhibit cell death but significantly attenuated ATP release. Reference: J Invest Dermatol. 2014 Jul;134(7):1951-1960. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24531690/
In vivo activity:
The current study assessed whether acute NAC (N-acetylcysteine) could reduce ethanol self-administration, ethanol-seeking behavior, motivation, and reacquisition of ethanol self-administration following abstinence in ethanol-dependent rats. In dependent rats, the low dose of NAC (25 mg/kg) reduced ethanol self-administration and motivation to consume ethanol, evaluated in a progressive ratio paradigm. At 50 mg/kg, but not 25 mg/kg, NAC reduced extinction responding and reacquisition of self-administration after 1 month abstinence.
