SOURCE: From apricot kernels. Cynogenic glycoside which occurs in seeds of Rosaceae; principally in bitter almonds; also in peaches and apricots.

ACTIVITY: Cyanogenic glycoside that is a component of bitter almonds and apricot pits. There is no scientific evidence that amygdalin itself is an effective anti-cancer agent. Recent studies using ?-glucoside linked to a tumor-associated monoclonal antibody to release cyanide at the tumor cell has shown significant cytotoxicity.
