15733082 Bahat-Stroomza M, Gilgun-Sherki Y, Offen D, Panet H, Saada A, Krool-Galron N, Barzilai A, Atlas D, Melamed E: A novel thiol antioxidant that crosses the blood brain barrier protects dopaminergic neurons in experimental models of Parkinson's disease. Eur J Neurosci. 2005 Feb;21(3):637-46.

We now report that AD4, the novel low molecular weight thiol antioxidant and the N-acytel cysteine (NAC) related compound, is capable of penetrating the brain and protects neurons in general and especially dopaminergic cells against various OS-generating neurotoxins in tissue cultures.
It also reduced the dopaminergic neuronal loss following chronic intrajugular administration of rotenone in rats.
