Prunasin is a cyanogenic glycoside related to amygdalin. Chemically, it is the glucoside of (R)-mandelonitrile.

Natural occurrences[edit]
Prunasin is found in species in the genus Prunus such as Prunus japonica or P. maximowiczii and in bitter almonds.[1] It is also found in leaves and stems of Olinia ventosa, O. radiata, O. emarginata and O. rochetiana[2] and in Acacia greggii.
It is also found in dandelion coffee, a coffee substitute.
Sambunigrin, a diastereomer of prunasin derived from (S)-mandelonitrile instead of it the (R)-isomer, has been isolated from leaves of the elder tree (Sambucus nigra)[3]
Toxicity[edit]
Prunasin is hydrolyzed to produce hydrogen cyanide. Plants containing prunasin may therefore be toxic to animals, particularly ruminants.[4]
Metabolism[edit]
Prunasin beta-glucosidase is an enzyme that uses (R)-prunasin and H2O to produce D-glucose and mandelonitrile.
Amygdalin beta-glucosidase is an enzyme that uses (R)-amygdalin and H2O to produce (R)-prunasin and D-glucose.
