== Reactions ==
Some chemical characteristics of divicine have been examined. It is known that it vigorously reduces ]ne solutions of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol, phosphomolybdate or phosphotungstate and produces an intense blue colour when reacting with an ammoniacal ferric chloride solution, which is used for the identification and proof of the presence of an enolic ] group.

Divicine is very unstable if oxygen is present and the oxidation is most rapid at alkaline pH levels. The half-life of divicine, at room temperature and neutral pH, is around half an hour. Both compounds are almost immediately destroyed by boiling, and breakdown in regular conditions can be accelerated by the presence of heavy metal ions, especially Cu<sup>2+</sup>.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Toxic constituents of plant foodstuffs|last1=Mager|first1=J.|last2=Razin|first2=A.|last3=Herschko|first3=A.|publisher=Academic Press|year=1969|editor-last=Liener|editor-first=I.|location=New York|pages=293–312}}</ref>

Divicine has been deemed a ] component of ] and plays a role in the development of ], a disorder that involves a hemolytic response to the consumption of broad beans due to ] (G6PD or G6PDH) deficiency. This deficiency, an X-linked recessive hereditary disease, is the most common enzyme deficiency worldwide. It is particularly common in those of African, Asian, Mediterranean, and Middle-Eastern descent.

This depletion results in the cells having no protection against oxidative stress caused by the aglycones. Oxidative stress leads to damage of haemoglobin and disulphide bond aggregates (]), which result in haemolytic anaemia, called favism.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Pulkkinen|first1=Marjo|last2=Zhou|first2=Xiao|last3=Lampi|first3=Anna-Maija|last4=Piironen|first4=Vieno|date=December 2016|title=Determination and stability of divicine and isouramil produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of vicine and convicine of faba bean|journal=Food Chemistry|volume=212|pages=10–19|doi=10.1016/j.foodchem.2016.05.077|pmid=27374500}}</ref>

== Effects on animals ==
In vitro studies in rats showed that a hemotoxic dose of divicine of 1.5 mM, when added to a suspension of red blood cells, resulted in a rapid decline in cellular glutathione, formation of ]s and damage to the membrane skeleton.
