Abstract:

Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic solution of vitamin B12 used mainly to treat deficiencies of the vitamin. Chemically it belongs to "corrinoids," and it is a crystallizable cobalt-complex. The name cyanocobalamin is owing to the fact it has a cyanide group attached to the molecule. It has a role in several methylation reactions in the body. In the body, in the form of methylcobalamin, it acts as a cofactor in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine and the form of adenosylcobalamin for the conversion of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA. Both these reactions are vital for cell division and growth.
