Abstract

Mucolytic Data.-The activity of three compounds in reducing the viscosity of a mucoproteinlz solution is shown in Table 11. XAC is included as reference material. Substantially greater mucolytic activity is demon5tr:~ ted by the 2-acylamino-3-mercaptopropiorl-amides (1-5) ut each time period. Two less soluble compounds (6 and 7) do not show good activity. Oxidative Stability.-In addition to the good mucolytic I) ropertics esliihitccl by severd of ...
