Hydroxocobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that is used as an antidote for cyanide poisoning. It is a red-colored vitamin that is essential for DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation. In the context of toxicology, hydroxocobalamin is especially significant due to its capability to bind with cyanide ions and form the non-toxic compound cyanocobalamin, which can then be excreted from the body.
