Very interesting, thanks for posting!  I googled NAC and found a number of interesting research articles.  Here's one dealing with the use of NAC in psychiatry.

 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3044191/

 

"This review outlines the current literature regarding the use of NAC in disorders including addiction, compulsive and grooming disorders, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. N-acetylcysteine has shown promising results in populations with these disorders, including those in whom treatment efficacy has previously been limited. The therapeutic potential of this acetylated amino acid is beginning to emerge in the field of psychiatric research."

 

And this, with implications for autoimmune diseases:

 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1097751/

 

"In summary, the ability of NAC to inhibit the induction of proinflammatory cytokines and inhibit the transmigration of inflammatory cells into the CNS of EAE-induced rats identifies it as a potential drug for the treatment of neuroinflammatory diseases and possibly other Th1-mediated autoimmune diseases. In addition, in vitro studies suggest that NAC may also promote survival of neurons and oligodendrocytes and thereby potentially facilitating remyelination."
