Acetylcysteine

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

In these lymphoma cell lines, etoposide increased the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduced mitochondria membrane potential, both of which were inhibited by the antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC).
Oncogene  •  2003  |  View Paper
Recently, antioxidants like N-acetylcysteine (NAC) were reported to inhibit H(2)O(2)-mediated necrotic cell death, although they were inactive against apoptosis induced by other agents like etoposide.

ACC significantly decreases the aneugenic and clastogenic activity of etoposide (20 mg/kg) in oocytes of 6-, 9-, and 12-week-old mice during triple introduction at a dose 200 mg/kg per os.

Moreover, co-treatment with ETO and NAC inhibits ETO-induced necrosis and cell swelling, but not apoptosis.
When NAC , a well-known reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger, is co-treated with ETO , it inhibits an ETO-induced increase in mitochondrial mass, mitochondrial DNA (ND1 and ND4) copy number, intracellular ATP level, and mitochondrial biogenesis activators (TFAM, PGC-1α and PGC-1β).
