Divicine Sulfate(CAT: C000646) is a chemical compound that is primarily relevant in the field of food chemistry and nutrition. This compound is derived from certain legumes, particularly fava beans, and is associated with a condition known as favism in individuals with a genetic deficiency of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD). Divicine sulfate can induce hemolysis (the breakdown of red blood cells) in such individuals when ingested, leading to the characteristic symptoms of favism.
