신진 대사
The toxicity of organic cyanides appears to depend almost entirely on whether they can be metabolized in the body to the free cyanide ion, and on the rate and extent of this conversion and the rate of detoxication of cyanide to thiocyanate. In general, alkyl and arylalkyl cyanides are metabolized with the formation of hydrogen cyanide, while the nitrile group of aryl cyanides is relatively stable. The high toxicity of iv-administered cinnamyl nitrile and the rapidity of death suggest that in rabbits this compound is metabolically converted to hydrogen cyanide (Hunt, 1923; Williams, 1959).
