This goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate how Acetadote affects metabolism in patients with glioblastoma. Drugs like Acetadote, which affect the level of damage in a cell (oxidative stress), may impact brain tumor metabolism and slow the growth of brain tumors. The investigators are evaluating how Acetadote affects glioblastoma metabolism by using MRI-based methods and by determining the changes in metabolism in brain tumor tissue resected from patients with a new diagnosis of glioblastoma.

To determine the effect of Acetadote on glioblastoma metabolism as measured by MRS.
The effect of Acetadote on glioblastoma metabolism will be assessed by measuring cysteine, glutathione, and lactate in glioblastoma through MRS.
Time frame: Day 1 and up to 21 days from Day 1
To determine the effect of Acetadote on glioblastoma metabolism in resected tumor tissue as measured by LCMS
The effect of Acetadote on glioblastoma metabolism in resected tumor tissue will be measured by Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS).
Time frame: Day 1 and up to 21 days from Day 1
