Amygdalin, ook bekend als laevomandelonitril of laetrile, wordt geïsoleerd uit de zaden van de boom Prunus dulcis, ook wel bittere amandelen genoemd. Sinds begin jaren vijftig, een gemodificeerde vorm van amygdaline is gepromoot onder de namen laetrile en "Vitamine B17" als kankermedicijn. In werkelijkheid, noch amygdaline, noch enig derivaat zoals laetrile is in welke zin dan ook een vitamine. Laetrile is the purified form of the compound amygdalin, which is found naturally in fruits and vegetables, particularly in the apricot pits and bitter almonds. Amygdalin was first isolated in 1830 and was used as an anticancer agent in Russia as early as It is believed that laetrile relieves the pain of cancer. One theory is that cancer cells contain large quantities of the enzyme beta-glucosidase. This enzyme breaks the amygdalin down and releases cyanide, a toxic chemical that then kills cancer cells.
