6-Amino-5-((2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-hydroxymethyl-tetrahydro-pyran-2-yloxy)-1H-pyrimidine-2,4-dione

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Convicine is a pyrimidine glycoside. Convicine, as well as Vicine, is the precursor of the aglycones Divicine and Isouramil. Convicine is the main factors of favism, which is a genetic condition leading to severe hemolysis after faba bean ingestion. Convicine can be isolated from the faba bean[1][2].
