CAS 29883-15-6: Amygdalin
Description:Amygdalin is a naturally occurring compound classified as a cyanogenic glycoside, primarily found in the seeds of fruits such as apricots, almonds, and cherries. Its chemical formula is C14H17NO6, and it is known for its potential to release cyanide when metabolized. Amygdalin appears as a white crystalline powder and is soluble in water and alcohol. It has been studied for its purported health benefits, particularly in alternative medicine, although scientific evidence supporting its efficacy is limited and controversial. The compound can be toxic in high doses due to the release of cyanide, which can lead to serious health risks. As a result, the consumption of amygdalin-rich seeds should be approached with caution. Regulatory agencies have raised concerns about its safety, and it is not approved as a treatment for any medical condition. Overall, while amygdalin has garnered interest for its historical use and potential therapeutic properties, its safety profile necessitates careful consideration.
