N-Acetyl-L-cysteine ethyl ester

Description: N-Acetyl-L-cysteine ethyl ester (NACET) is a derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine. NACET has been shown to exhibit diverse biochemical and physiological effects, including inhibition of protein synthesis, inhibition of DNA replication, and induction of apoptosis. Additionally, it has demonstrated anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer activity. Target: Antioxidant. Smiles: CCOC(=O)[C@H](CS)NC(C)=O. References: Giustarini D, et al.
