N-Acetyl-S-benzyl-d5-L-cysteine (CAT: C000016) is a deuterium-labeled form of N-Acetyl-S-benzyl-L-cysteine, which is a metabolite resulting from the breakdown of toluene, a common organic solvent and industrial chemical. Toluene metabolism in the body leads to the formation of various metabolites, including N-Acetyl-S-benzyl-L-cysteine. This compound is formed through the conjugation of toluene with cysteine and subsequent acetylation. Toluene exposure can occur through inhalation or skin contact in various industrial and occupational settings.
