Alitame (hydrate) (Standard) is the standard substance of Alitame (hydrate), and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. Alitame hydrate is a non-nutritive sweetener that is 2000 times sweeter than sucrose. It is formed from aspartic acid, alanine & an amide.
Adenosine 5'-succinate is a compound closely related to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) that demonstrates strong inhibitory properties against taste receptor activation of transducin caused by Denatonium benzoate.
S6821 is a TAS2R8 antagonist. S6821 was not found to be mutagenic or clastogenic in vitro, and did not induce micronuclei in bone marrow polychromatic erythrocytes in vivo.
Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Trp) is a diketopiperazine metabolite initially derived from Penicillium, exhibiting antibacterial (MICs = 125-1000 µg/ml) and antifungal activities (MICs = 8-64 µg/ml). It also demonstrates antioxidant properties by reducing the production of hydroxy radicals, as evidenced in an electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy assay (IC50 = 1.8 µM). Additionally, Cyclo(L-Leu-L-Trp) has been identified as a bitter compound capable of quickly crossing rat taste cell membranes ex vivo at a 1 mM concentration. Furthermore, it acts as a melatonin receptor agonist in X. laevis melanophores, suppressing cAMP accumulation at a 20 µM concentration, with this effect being negated by the melatonin receptor antagonist luzindole.
