[edit] cyanogenic or cyanogenetic

hmm, I just added cyanogenic glycosides, but then I found cyanogenic glycosides. I think these are the same thing, but I don't know which heading should it have (IANA-Chemist). Maybe someone can clear this up, or leave as is if nothing new is needed. Smmurphy^(Talk) 06:11, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

I think cyanogenic is the correct term; cyanogenetic is a misnomer for the same thing. However, these compounds do not necessarily have hydrogen cyanide as the aglycone. I fixed it. AxelBoldt 18:06, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cyanogenic glycosides

Typo that needs to be cleared up in the last paragraph on the page:

Cyanogenic glycosides "In this case, the aglycone is a contains a cyanide group"

[edit] Nitrilosides

In the paragraph : "In this case, the aglycone is a contains a cyanide group"

The word "cyanide" should be replaced by "nitrile", because these compounds do not contain the cyanide ion (CN-) but the nitrile group (R-CN) instead. These are completely different things, as nitrile compounds being nowhere near as toxic as most cyanide-containing ionic compounds. Dr.Rezaf 13:53, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
