SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.|SRP: Criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

Cyclamate and its derivatives. Calcium, sodium, magnesium and potassium salts of cyclohexane sulfamic acid. Cyclamates are synthetic chemicals having a sweet taste 30 to 40 times that of sucrose, are not found in natural products at levels detectable by the official methodology, and have been used as artificial sweeteners.

Cyclamate's production and use as a non-nutritive sweetener(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 12(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that cyclamate is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). The estimated pKa of cyclamate is 1.71(3), indicating that this compound will almost entirely exist in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). Volatilization from moist soil is not expected because the compound exists as an anion and ions do not volatilize. Cyclamate is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 5.3X10-7 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(5). Incubation experiments with activated sludge resulted in a first order half-life of 20 minutes with 99% removal efficiency after 3 hours(6) suggesting that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 12(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that cyclamate is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). A pKa of 1.71(3) indicates cyclamate will exist almost entirely in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC). Bioconcentration of cyclamate in aquatic organisms is low due to its ionic nature. Incubation experiments with activated sludge resulted in a first order half-life of 20 minutes with 99% removal efficiency after 3 hours(4) suggesting that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in water(SRC).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), cyclamate, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 5.3X10-7 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase cyclamate is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 3.7 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 3.4X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Particulate-phase cyclamate may be removed from the air by wet or dry deposition(SRC). Cyclamate does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4), and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of cyclamate with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 3.4X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 3.7 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). No loss was observed using sterile controls in an activated sludge system(2). Cyclamate does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(3), and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

An estimated pKa of 1.71(1) indicates cyclamate will exist almost entirely in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore bioconcentration of cyclamate in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of cyclamate can be estimated to be 12(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that cyclamate is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The estimated pKa of cyclamate is 1.71(3), indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4).

The estimated pKa of 1.71(1) indicates cyclamate will exist almost entirely in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and therefore volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process. Cyclamate is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 5.3X10-7 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2).

GROUNDWATER: Cyclamate was not detected in groundwater sampled in Zurich Switzerland, sampled between August and November 2008(1).|SURFACE WATER: Eight lakes in Switzerland were sampled in February and March 2008, resulting in cyclamate concentrations ranging from below the detection limit in a remote mountain lake to 0.13 ug/L in the Greifensee, which is within a densely populated catchment area(1).

Occupational exposure to cyclamate may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where cyclamate is produced or used. Monitoring and use data indicate that the general population may be exposed to cyclamate via ingestion of contaminated drinking water and consumer products containing cyclamate. (SRC)

Most humans convert only small amounts of cyclamate to cyclohexylamine, and the majority converted < 0.1-8%; however, there is wide interindividual variation in the daily urinary excretion of cyclohexylamine, which can amount to 60% of a dose of cyclamate. Gastrointestinal microflora are the source of the conversion of unabsorbed cyclamate to cyclohexylamine.|Orally administered cyclamate appears to be readily absorbed by rabbits but less readily by guinea-pigs, rats and humans. All of these species convert cyclamate to cyclohexylamine, via the action of gastrointestinal microflora on unabsorbed cyclamate. The metabolism of cyclohexylamine to other products differs somewhat in humans and other species, although most cyclohexylamine is rapidly excreted unchanged in the urine. In rats, it is metabolized mainly by hydroxylation of the cyclohexane ring; in humans, it is metabolized by deamination; and in guinea-pigs and rabbits, it is metabolized by ring hydroxylation and deamination.|Two metabolites were definitely identified in the urine of volunteers who received an oral dose of (14)C-cyclohexylamine, namely cyclohexanol and trans-cyclohexane-1,2- diol.

The sweet taste receptor is a heterodimer of two G protein coupled receptors, T1R2 and T1R3. Previous experimental studies using sweet receptor chimeras and mutants show that there are at least three potential binding sites in this heterodimeric receptor. Receptor activity toward the artificial sweeteners aspartame and neotame depends on residues in the amino terminal domain of human T1R2. In contrast, receptor activity toward the sweetener cyclamate and the sweet taste inhibitor lactisole depends on residues within the transmembrane domain of human T1R3. Furthermore, receptor activity toward the sweet protein brazzein depends on the cysteine rich domain of human T1R3.|The sweet protein brazzein [recombinant protein with sequence identical with the native protein lacking the N-terminal pyroglutamate (the numbering system used has Asp2 as the N-terminal residue)] activates the human sweet receptor, a heterodimeric G-protein-coupled receptor composed of subunits Taste type 1 Receptor 2 (T1R2) and Taste type 1 Receptor 3 (T1R3). In order to elucidate the key amino acid(s) responsible for this interaction, we mutated residues in brazzein and each of the two subunits of the receptor. The effects of brazzein mutations were assayed by a human taste panel and by an in vitro assay involving receptor subunits expressed recombinantly in human embryonic kidney cells; the effects of the receptor mutations were assayed by in vitro assay. We mutated surface residues of brazzein at three putative interaction sites: site 1 (Loop43), site 2 (N- and C-termini and adjacent Glu36, Loop33), and site 3 (Loop9-19). Basic residues in site 1 and acidic residues in site 2 were essential for positive responses from each assay. Mutation of Y39A (site 1) greatly reduced positive responses. A bulky side chain at position 54 (site 2), rather than a side chain with hydrogen-bonding potential, was required for positive responses, as was the presence of the native disulfide bond in Loop9-19 (site 3). Results from mutagenesis and chimeras of the receptor indicated that brazzein interacts with both T1R2 and T1R3 and that the Venus flytrap module of T1R2 is important for brazzein agonism. With one exception, all mutations of receptor residues at putative interaction sites predicted by wedge models failed to yield the expected decrease in brazzein response. The exception, hT1R2 (human T1R2 subunit of the sweet receptor):R217A/hT1R3 (human T1R3 subunit of the sweet receptor), which contained a substitution in lobe 2 at the interface between the two subunits, exhibited a small selective decrease in brazzein activity. However, because the mutation was found to increase the positive cooperativity of binding by multiple ligands proposed to bind both T1R subunits (brazzein, monellin, and sucralose) but not those that bind to a single subunit (neotame and cyclamate), we suggest that this site is involved in subunit-subunit interaction rather than in direct brazzein binding. Results from this study support a multi-point interaction between brazzein and the sweet receptor by some mechanism other than the proposed wedge models.

/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Four groups of 8 men each were administered sodium cyclamate in hard gelatin capsules at 0 (sucrose placebo), 5, 10 or 16 g/day for 213 days. Capsules were taken with regular meals. Blood, urine and semen were collected twice prior to commencing study. Samples of blood and urine were then collected on days 2 and 8 and weekly thereafter while semen was obtained every 2 weeks. Blood was examined for glucose, BUN, cholesterol, Na+, K+, protein bound iodine (PBI), SGPT, hemoglobin, hematocrit and complete blood count. The concentration and motility of sperm in the semen were estimated. Stool was collected on days 2, 4, 9 and 11 and on 2 non-consecutive days and graded as to consistency. Body weight and blood pressure were monitored weekly. The only untoward effect observed was softening of the stool which occurred in 7/8 men receiving 16 g/day and 2/8 receiving 10 g/day. All subjects receiving cyclamate excreted cyclohexylamine in varying amounts on one or more occasions. The percentage of cyclohexylamine that appeared in the urine as free cyclohexylamine varied between 0.25 and 75.4% with a mean value of 17.2%. A significant increase in the concentration of PBI in the serum was also observed. This was shown to be an artifact arising from iodine in the color used in coloring the gelatin capsules|/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ To determine whether there was a connection between the complaint of restless legs and the ingestion of artificial sweeteners in a patient with these symptoms after drinking certain 'light' beverages.Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled N-of-1 trial with a cross-over design. During a period of 48 days, the patient took 4 capsules per day containing either 150 mg of cyclamate, 22.5 mg of saccharine, both sweeteners, or placebo on two successive days. Between each of these 2-day periods there was a 2-day rest period during which no capsules were taken. The hospital pharmacist had prepared the capsules and determined the sequence of the 2-day periods on a random basis. The patient did not know which capsules he was taking. Every day on arising, starting 3 weeks before the trial period, the patient noted the intensity and duration of the symptoms in the late evening and previous night. For this notation he used an 11-point scale, from 0 (= no restless legs) to 10 (= almost total inability to sleep because of restless legs). A score of 1-3 corresponded to mild symptoms that had no effect on the patient's sleep; at a score of 4-6 his sleep was disturbed and at a score of 7-10 the patient hardly slept at all. The patient had symptoms more often while using saccharine or the combination of saccharine and cyclamate than when taking the placebo (4 and 4 versus 2 of the 6 nights); moreover, the average score was then statistically significantly higher (5.2 and 5.8 versus 3.3).
