Carbocysteine(CAT: I013118), also known as L-carbocisteine, is a mucolytic agent widely used in respiratory research and therapeutic applications. It works by reducing the viscosity of mucus, aiding in its clearance from the airways. Carbocysteine achieves this by modifying the structure of glycoproteins in mucus, making it easier to expel, thereby improving breathing in conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchitis. Additionally, it exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which contribute to its protective effects on the respiratory epithelium. Carbocysteine is a valuable compound for studying mucus regulation, airway clearance mechanisms, and respiratory disease management.
