Dacisteine is a derivative of a N-acetylcysteine, where a second acetyl group is attached to a sulfur atom. Dacisteine is marketed in France under tradename Mucothiol for the treatment of disorders of bronchial secretion, acute bronchitis and acute episode of chronic bronchopneumopathies. Dacisteine exerts its action on the gel phase of the mucus, presumably by breaking the disulfide bonds of the glycoproteins, and thus promotes the expectoration.
