Cyanocobalamin is a dark-red crystalline compound, which is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It was first isolated in crystalline form from cattle liver. Its structure was established by A. Todd and D. Crowfoot Hodgkin and their co-workers. The primary sources of cyanocobalamin in nature are microorganisms; cyanocobalamin is synthesized by several bacteria, by actinomycetes, and by blue-green algae. It occurs in almost all animal tissues. It is not encountered, as a rule, in the tissues of higher plants (legume tubers are an exception). In ruminants, it is synthesized in sufficient amounts by the microflora of the intestine and the rumen. In man and several higher animals, such as birds and hogs, its synthesis by intestinal microflora is insufficient, and thus the vitamin must be obtained from food. The daily requirement for humans is about 5 μg. The major sources of the vitamin are liver, kidneys, fish meal, and milk. In the form of its coenzymes methylcobalamin and deoxyadenosylcobalamin, cyanocobalamin participates in the enzymic reactions involved in hematopoiesis and facilitates normal liver function and nerve fiber regeneration. It is produced by microbiological synthesis using propionic-acid bacteria for the fermentation process. Vitamin B12 is used for the treatment of pernicious anemia and other anemias, as well as of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems and the liver. It is prescribed in solutions for intramuscular injections. (See alsoVITAMINS; ANEMIA; and COBALAMINS.) REFERENCESSmith, L. Vitamin B12. Moscow, 1962. (Translated from English.) Friedrich, W.

cyanocobalamin [si″ah-no-ko-bal´ah-min] vitamin B12, a substance having hematopoietic activity found in liver, fish meal, eggs, and other natural sources, or produced from cultures of Streptomyces griseus; it combines with intrinsic factor for absorption and is needed for erythrocyte maturation. Absence of intrinsic factor leads to malabsorption of cyanocobalamin and results in pernicious anemia. Called also extrinsic factor.

See vitamin B12.vitamin B12 A water-soluble vitamin of animal origin required for DNA synthesis. It is a glycoprotein produced and secreted by the gastric parietal cells, and is absorbed from the GI tract bound to intrinsic factor; the body stores up to one years’ worth of vitamin B12 in the liver, kidneys and heart. Rapid cell turnover (e.g., growth spurts in children, malignancy) require increased amounts of vitamin B12. Vegans, who ingest no protein of animal origin, are at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency. Increased by Chronic myeloid leukaemia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, liver disease, obesity, polycythemia vera, renal failure. Decreased by Atrophic gastritis, drugs (antibiotics, anticonvulsants, antimalarials, antituberculous agents, chemotherapy, contraceptives, diuretics, oral hypoglycemics, sedatives), inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis), intrinsic factor deficiency (causing megaloblastic anaemia), malabsorption, malnutrition, parasites (e.g., Diphyllobotrium latum), veganism.cyanocobalamin Vitamin B12 A water soluble B vitamin, central to proper CNS function, and carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism.

Patient discussion about cyanocobalaminQ. Can a food rich in vitamin B12 will help for his depression or vitamin B12 pills are always required? Hi all…..having one question related to my friends depression and its relation to vitamin B12, as a medicine given to him by his Doctor. Can a food rich in vitamin B12 will help for his depression or vitamin B12 pills are always required?A. Yes low level of vitamin B12 is associated with depression. You can complete its deficiency by having good diet which will cover the B12 requirements. What happens that depressed people tend to eat less of healthy food and which reduces the B12. So, it again reduces the capacity to fight against the depression. More discussions about cyanocobalamincyanocobalamin
