“Co‐infusion of N‐acetylcysteine (100 μm) or melatonin (50 μm) increased l‐DOPA (up to 151‐ and 246‐fold, respectively) and decreased l‐DOPA‐SQ (by about 53% and 87%, respectively) dialysate concentrations.”
“The decrease in cell viability by L‐DOPA (10±4% of control) or dopamine (15±4% of control) was markedly attenuated by antioxidants (ascorbic acid, glutathione, N‐acetyl‐L‐cysteine and sodium metabisulphite).”

“ L‐DOPA auto‐oxidation is inhibited by NAC and enhanced by manganese.”
“intrastriatal infusion of N‐acetylcysteine (NAC) significantly increased DA and L‐DOPA dialysate concentrations and lowered those of L‐DOPA semiquinone; in addition, NAC decreased DOPAC+HVA and uric acid dialysate concentrations.”
