| Abstract | N-acetylcysteine (NAC) commonly known as acetylcysteine, is a pharmaceutical drug and nutritional supplement with numerous uses. Its primary use is as a mucolytic agent. The drug rapidly metabolizes to intracellular glutathione which acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body. Finally, it has been claimed to have a protective effect against cancer for its action as an antioxidant and a glutathione precursor [1]. Acetaminaphen (AC) is widely used as an analgesic anti-pyretic drug with similar effects as aspirin. It is regarded as a suitable replacement for aspirin in patients sensitive to aspirin or those with asthma. Intravenous acetylcysteine is typically administered for the treatment of paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose [2]. Large quantities of paracetamol causes a minor metabolite called N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) that accumulates in the body and is normally conjugated by glutathione. When taken in excess, the body's limited glutathione reserves fail to inactivate the toxic NAPQI. The metabolite thus produced is then free to react with key hepatic enzymes, damaging hepatocytes. This may lead to severe liver damage and even to death by fulminant liver failure [3]. Due to this fatal effect, simultaneous determination of these compounds (NAC & AC) is very important. However, a major problem is that at bare electrodes, the anodic peak potentials for NAC and AC are almost the same, which results in their overlapped current responses and makes their discrimination very difficult. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
