Description Hydrogen cyanide, also known as hydrocyanic acid or cyanide, is a member of the class of compounds known as nitriles. Nitriles are compounds having the structure RC#N, thus C-substituted derivatives of hydrocyanic acid, HC#N. Hydrogen cyanide is slightly soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Hydrogen cyanide can be found in a number of food items such as kiwi, java plum, yellow wax bean, and mamey sapote, which makes hydrogen cyanide a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Hydrogen cyanide exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Hydrogen cyanide is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN), sometimes called prussic acid, is a chemical compound with the chemical formula HCN. It is a colorless, extremely poisonous and inflammable liquid that boils slightly above room temperature, at 25.6 °C (78.1 °F). HCN is produced on an industrial scale and is a highly valuable precursor to many chemical compounds ranging from polymers to pharmaceuticals . Antidotes to cyanide poisoning include hydroxocobalamin and sodium nitrite, which release the cyanide from the cytochrome system, and rhodanase, which is an enzyme occurring naturally in mammals that combines serum cyanide with thiosulfate, producing comparatively harmless thiocyanate. Oxygen therapy can also be administered (L97) (T3DB).
