Cobalamine Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Description

Cobalamine is a synthetic compound of vitamin B12 used to treat vitamin deficiencies. Chemically, cyanocobalamin is classified as a "corrinoid," representing a crystallizable cobalt complex. The name "cyanocobalamin" is derived from including a cyanide group within the molecule. Cyanocobalamin is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for pernicious anemia, malabsorption, atrophic gastritis, gastrectomy, Helicobacter pylori infection, and other conditions.

Uses

Cyanocobalamin injection is used to treat and prevent a lack of vitamin B12 that may be caused by any of the following: pernicious anemia (lack of a natural substance needed to absorb vitamin B12 from the intestine); certain diseases, infections, or medications that decrease the amount of vitamin B12 absorbed from food; or a vegan diet (strict vegetarian diet that does not allow any animal products, including dairy products and eggs). Cyanocobalamin injection is in a class of medications called vitamins. Because it is injected straight into the bloodstream, it can be used to supply vitamin B12 to people who cannot absorb this vitamin through the intestine.

Side effects

Shortness of breath (even with mild exertion), swelling, rapid weight gain. Pulmonary edema, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular thrombosis. Hypokalemia--leg cramps, irregular heartbeats, tingling/numbness, muscle weakness, or limp feeling.

Ask a question
Q:What are the causes of elevated vitamin B12 levels?STAR - Apr 3,2026
A:Elevated vitamin B12 levels may be caused by supplements, liver disease, kidney disease or myeloid malignancies. One potential benign cause of such elevations is megalobin, a complex formed by vitamin B12, trans-cobalamin and immunoglobulin. Although this complex is biologically inactive, it can still lead to elevated plasma vitamin B12 levels due to its reduced clearance. Persistent and unexplained elevated vitamin B12 levels may lead to patients undergoing invasive diagnostic procedures, including bone marrow biopsy. However, giant vitamin B12 can be detected using the polyethylene glycol precipitation method, thereby avoiding unnecessary diagnostic procedures, including bone marrow aspiration.
Q:Can furu products be used to supplement daily vitamin B12 requirements?STAR - Apr 3,2026
A:No. Although vitamin B12 has been reported to be present in ‘fermented tofu’ (furu), a traditional Chinese fermented tofu product, the levels are not high. Recent research indicates that grey furu has the highest vitamin B12 content (approximately 1.1 μg/100 g), whilst the levels in other products are all below 0.4 μg/100 g. Furthermore, only about 9% of the total vitamin B12 in grey furu is bioactive, with the remainder identified as inactive porphyrin compounds. Other products exhibit similar characteristics. These findings suggest that, although grey furu may provide small amounts of bioactive vitamin B12, commercially available furu products are not a reliable source of vitamin B12.
