Neutrophils	1 mM	30 min	To assess the effect of NAC on NET formation, results showed that NAC reduced PMA-induced NET formation.	Blood Adv. 2020 Jan 28;4(2):312-321.
LS174T	2.5-40 mM	72 h	Acetylcysteine significantly inhibited the proliferation of LS174T cells, particularly at higher concentrations.	J Exp Clin Cancer Res. 2014 Nov 12;33(1):92.

CF sputum	2.5 mM	30 min	To compare the mucolytic effects of MUC-031 and NAC, MUC-031 was more effective in reducing the elastic modulus (G′) of sputum and acted faster. MUC-031 induced mucolysis in 69% of sputum samples within 15 min, compared to 25% for NAC.	Eur Respir J. 2023 May 25;61(5):2202022.

Mice	JAK2V617F knockin mouse model	Oral	2 g/L	Starting from 4 to 6 weeks of age, replenished weekly, continuous administration.

Mice	ΒENaC-Tg mice	Intratracheal instillation (adult mice) or intranasal instillation (neonatal mice)	131 mg/mL	Three times in one day (acute experiment) or twice daily for two weeks (chronic experiment)	To evaluate the mucolytic efficacy of MUC-031 in βENaC-Tg mice. Acute treatment significantly reduced airway mucus plugging and inflammation; chronic treatment sustained these reductions and improved survival.	Eur Respir J. 2023 May 25;61(5):2202022.
BALB/c mice	Hind leg muscle model	Diet	5%	Daily for 14 days	To investigate the effect of dietary NAC on radical-induced structural changes in DNA, results showed that NAC significantly reduced the concentration of 8-OH-Gua and decreased the variance in the oxidative status of DNA.	Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2002 Apr 30;99(9):5937-41
Rats and mice	Early-life stress (ELS) model and EAAC1 knockout mice	Intraperitoneal injection	50 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg	Once daily for 2 days	NAC injection alleviated depressive-like behaviors in NMS model rats and reduced oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. In EAAC1-/- mice, NAC improved depressive-like behaviors but not impulsive behaviors.	Int J Biol Sci. 2024 Oct 7;20(14):5450-5473
