S-(Carboxymethyl)-L-Cysteine (Carbocisteine; Carbocysteine) (CAS: 638-23-3), is a mucolytic that reduces the viscosity of sputum and so can be used to help relieve the symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) and bronchiectasis by allowing the sufferer to bring up sputum more easily. Carbocisteine should not be used with antitussives (cough suppressants) or medicines that dry up bronchial secretions. Carbocisteine is produced by alkylation of cysteine with chloroacetic acid. It is an important pharmaceutical raw material; used in the synthesis of a variety of drugs, can reduce the stickiness of respiratory secretions, for the treatment of chronic tracheitis, emphysema, tuberculosis and so on.
Used in biochemical research, as a phlegm solubilizer. Use phlegm dissolving medicine, occasionally mild dizziness, nausea, stomach upset, diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding, skin rash and other adverse reactions. Use with caution in patients with digestive tract. This product is a mucolytic agent, an expectorant, and an anti-nasal infection drug. It is mainly used for the treatment of diseases such as thick sputum, difficulty in expectoration and obstruction of sputum and trachea caused by diseases such as chronic bronchitis and bronchial asthma
Carbocisteine is a mucus thinner, its effect is similar to that of bromhexine. It mainly affects the secretion of bronchial glands at the cellular level. It can break the disulfide bond of mucin in the mucus and make low-viscosity sialo mucin. The secretion is increased, and the production of high-viscosity fucomucin is reduced, so that the viscosity of sputum is reduced, which is conducive to the discharge of sputum. The oral administration takes effect quickly, and the obvious effect can be seen within 4 hours after taking it. It is widely distributed in the lung tissues, and finally excreted in the urine in the form of prototypes and metabolites.
