代谢
当暴露于人体肠道中的酶和肠道菌群时,毒藜碱可以分解为有毒的化学物质氢氰酸。这是通过存在于植物细胞壁中的亚麻酸酶发生的。咀嚼植物允许酶接触毒藜碱,将其转化为丙酮氰醇,然后丙酮氰醇自行分解为氢氰酸。(L630, L1240)有机腈通过肝脏中的细胞色素P450酶的作用转化为氰化物离子。氰化物迅速被吸收并在全身分布。氰化物主要通过罗丹酶或3-巯基丙酸硫转移酶代谢为硫氰酸盐。氰化物代谢物通过尿液排出。(L96)
Upon exposure to enzymes and gut flora in the human intestine, lotaustralin can decompose to the toxic chemical hydrogen cyanide. This occurs via the enzyme linamarase, which is found in the cell wall of the plant. Chewing of the plant allows the enzyme to contact the lotaustralin converting it into acetone cyanohydrin, which then spontaneously decomposes to hydrogen cyanide. (L630, L1240) Organic nitriles are converted into cyanide ions through the action of cytochrome P450 enzymes in the liver. Cyanide is rapidly absorbed and distributed throughout the body. Cyanide is mainly metabolized into thiocyanate by either rhodanese or 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfur transferase. Cyanide metabolites are excreted in the urine. (L96)
