Apr 15, 2010 · Cyanide is a source of nitrogen in all living organisms. There are organism that synthesis cyanides, as well as that assimilate cyanide as a source of carbon and nitrogen. There are about 3000 species of plants, animals, microbes and fungi that contain cyanide. Higher plants produce small quality of HCN during their normal metabolism [3].

Mar 1, 2019 · Production of hydrogen cyanide by bacterial action in the large intestine depends on the stability of the cyanohydrin. Potential toxicity of cyanogenic glycosides arises from enzymatic degradation to produce hydrogen cyanide. Information on the metabolism of cyanogenic glycosides is available from in vitro, animal and human studies.

Feb 3, 2022 · Herein we investigate the role of cyanide-mediated transformations and show that cyanide can act as a reductant 22 that not only enables efficient transformation of TCA intermediates, but also ...
Nov 4, 2015 · Cyanide is a reactive chemical that can undergo several reactions at concentrations generated endogenously or at elevated tissue levels observed in acute toxicity. It has been proposed that low level, endogenous generation of cyanide is physiologically significant and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) may function as a small molecule modulator.
