Excess ROS can damage all major cellular constituents (DNA, proteins, and lipids) and even lead to cell death, apoptosis, hypertrophy, fibrosis, and contractile dysfunction in the myocardium [8, 11]
Additionally, because NAC possesses mild blood-thinning properties by breaking disulfide bonds in clotting factors, taking it alongside anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding
It also helps reduce the breakdown of collagen and elastin and neutralizes free radicals which cause cell damage and health risks
Considering that the water molecules were trapped largely in the hydrophobic pockets, often made contacts with or were displaced by the fragments, and did not appear to play a structural role, we anticipated that their displacement with larger non-polar moieties would improve binding of newly designed inhibitors
