- NAC is a derivative of cysteine with an acetyl group attached to the amino group of cysteine.
- NAC is essentially a pro-drug that is converted to cysteine (in the intestine by the enzyme aminoacylase) and absorbed in the intestine into the blood stream.
- Cysteine is a key constituent to glutathione and hence administration of acetylcysteine replenishes glutathione stores.
