Description:Dhurrin is a cyanogenic glycoside, which is a naturally occurring compound found in certain plants. It primarily originates from sorghum and other members of the Poaceae family. As a cyanogenic glycoside, Dhurrin’s mode of action involves releasing hydrogen cyanide when the plant tissue is disrupted. This process occurs through the enzymatic action of β-glucosidase and hydroxynitrile lyase, leading to the production of toxic hydrogen cyanide, which serves as a defense mechanism against herbivores and pathogens.
