The molecular formula C 5 H 9 NO 3 S (molar mass: 163.195 g/mol, exact mass: 163.0303 u) may refer to: Acetylcysteine, also known as N-acetylcysteine (NAC)
N-acetylcysteine, also known as Acetylcysteine and NAC, is a medication that is used to treat paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose and to loosen thick mucus in individuals with chronic bronchopulmonary disorders, such as pneumonia and bronchitis. [9] It has been used to treat lactobezoar in infants.

Thiamphenicol glycinate acetylcysteine (TGA) is a pharmaceutical drug that is a combination of thiamphenicol glycinate ester (TAFGE), which is a derivative of the antibiotic thiamphenicol, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC), which is a mucus-thinning drug. Upon contact with tissue esterases, TGA releases both TAFGE and NAC.
N-acetylcysteine has been shown to decrease drug-seeking behavior for nicotine and heroin as well. However, N-acetylcysteine does not alter the cocaine-induced rush or euphoria; it only causes a reduction in drug-seeking behavior. N-acetylcysteine works by increasing levels of cysteine in cells, leading to an increase in system Xc- activity.
N-Acetylcysteine amide (abbrev. NACA, AD4 and also known as acetylcysteinamide ) is an amide derivative of N -acetylcysteine that appears to have better blood–brain barrier permeability and bioavailability and a similar antioxidant capability.
N-Acetylcarnosine (NAC) (not to be confused with N-Acetylcysteine, which is also abbreviated "NAC") is a naturally occurring [1] compound chemically related to the dipeptide carnosine. The NAC molecular structure is identical to carnosine with the exception that it carries an additional acetyl group.
