Uses

Vicine is a pyrimidine glycosides, a precursor of the aglycons divicine and isouramil which is main factors of favism. It is found in faba/fava bean. Also, it is derived from Ethyl Glyoxylate (E918550), which is used as a reagent in the synthesis of a new class of cinnamyl-triazole compounds which can be used as selective inhibitors of human aromatase (cytochrome P 450 19A1)
