Prunasin

Description:

Prunasin is a cyanogenic glycoside, a type of compound that can release cyanide upon hydrolysis. It is primarily found in certain plants, particularly in the seeds of fruits such as cherries and almonds. The molecular formula of prunasin is C11H15NO6, and it has a relatively low molecular weight. This compound is characterized by its sweet taste, which is attributed to its sugar moiety, and its potential toxicity due to the release of cyanide, making it important to handle with care. Prunasin is soluble in water and can undergo enzymatic hydrolysis in the presence of specific enzymes, leading to the formation of benzaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide. Its presence in plants serves as a defense mechanism against herbivores. In terms of applications, prunasin is of interest in research related to plant biochemistry and toxicology, as well as in the study of cyanogenic compounds in food safety. Overall, while prunasin has potential uses in various fields, its toxic properties necessitate caution in its handling and consumption.

R-Prunasin

CAS: 99-18-3

R-Prunasin is a cyanogenic glycoside, which is a naturally occurring compound found in certain plants. It is primarily sourced from species within the Prunus genus, such as cherries and almonds. The mode of action of R-Prunasin involves its enzymatic hydrolysis by beta-glucosidase, leading to the release of hydrogen cyanide, benzaldehyde, and glucose. This reaction is a classical example of plant defense mechanisms against herbivores and pathogens.
