Amygdalin (Vitamin B17) is a glucoside derived from almonds and apricot kernals and is structurally related to vitamin B17. In the 1950s, amygdalin was a proposed anti-cancer agent; however, because of its cyanogenic properties, its use is highly avoided. Amygdalin is freely soluble in water at 83 mg/mL.
Cas Number: 29883-15-6
Molecular Formula: C20H27NO11
Molecular Weight: 457.43
Mechanism of Action: After ingestion of amygdalin, β-glucosidase enzymes in the digestive system metabolize amygdalin producing hydrogen cyanide. Some of the hydrogen cyanide produced can find its way to tumor cells which is thought to have a potent cytotoxic effect.
Storage Conditions: 2-8°C
Cancer Applications: Amygdalin can be used to study cytotoxic effects of cyanide on cancerous cells.
