• UNSPSC Description:

  Convicine is a pyrimidine glycoside. Convicine, as well as Vicine, is the precursor of the aglycones Divicine and Isouramil. Convicine is the main factors of favism, which is a genetic condition leading to severe hemolysis after faba bean ingestion. Convicine can be isolated from the faba bean[1][2].
