General description

The biodegradation of saccharin (2-sulfobenzoic acid imide), an artificial sweetening agent, was studied. It was also studied for its carcinogenic potential.

Application


  • Gabapentin-saccharin co-crystals with enhanced physicochemical properties and in vivo absorption formulated as oro-dispersible tablets.: This study presents the formulation of gabapentin-saccharin co-crystals, demonstrating improved solubility and absorption, beneficial for pharmaceutical applications (Soliman et al., 2020, doi: 10.1080/10837450.2019.1687521).

  • Improving the solubility, dissolution, and bioavailability of Ibrutinib by preparing it in a coamorphous state with saccharin.: The research focuses on enhancing the bioavailability of Ibrutinib through coamorphous preparation with saccharin, which is significant for cancer treatment (Shi et al., 2019, doi: 10.1016/j.xphs.2019.04.031).

Biochem/physiol Actions

A sweet tastant for mammals. A glycerol taste receptor binding site specific for glucose has been proposed in drosophila.

The biodegradation of the six artificial sweetening agents including acesulfame (ACE), aspartame (ASP), cyclamate (CYC), neohesperidindihydrochalcone (NHDC), saccharin (SAC), and sucralose (SUC) by nitrifying activated sludge was first examined. Experimental results showed that ASP and NHDC were the most easily
