    [(6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D- Amygdalin
    glucopyranosyl)oxy](phenyl) Amygdalin is a phytochemical derived from
    the seeds of various fruits, including
    apricots and bitter almonds. The breakdown
    of this compound releases cyanide. It has
    been used in cancer treatment at various
    times since the 1800s, but its use today is

    treatment.
