Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims at investigating the possible efficacy and safety of N-acetyl cysteine as adjuvant therapy in the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy


Clinical Trial Description

N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC), a glutathione precursor, is proven to activate the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2( Nrf2) in mouse models of status epilepticus, thus inhibiting high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) cytoplasmic translocation in the hippocampal neural and glial cells and preventing the linkage between oxidative stress and neuroinflammation for which the redox-sensitive protein HMGB1 is central. Therefore,It may be useful as an adjuvant in treating various medical conditions, especially neuropsychiatry. ;
