Biological Activity
N-Acetyl-D-cysteine (20 mM; 1 hour pretreatment; 12 hours) does not increase intracellular GSH levels, but GSH monoester does. D-NAC can not enhance hypoxic apoptosis. This demonstrate that GSH rather than D-NAC or NAC is responsible for enhancing hypoxic apoptosis[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
