Carbocisteine
A mucolytic derived from the amino acid cysteine, first described in 1951 and in medical use since 1960: it makes phlegm less thick and easier to cough up, for example in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.
Did you know?It is made by attaching a carboxymethyl group to cysteine, using chloroacetic acid: hence its full name, S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine, shortened to carbocisteine.
