A technique for quantitative determining of the synthetic sweetener aspartame. NH2-Asp-Phe-OMe and its hydrolysis product, NH2-Asp-Phe-OH, is proposed based on the use of an amino acid analyzer.

Solid state stability studies of model dipeptides: aspartame and aspartylphenylalanine.

J. Pharm. Sci. 86(1) , 64-71, (1997)

Some solid-state pharmaceutical properties and the solid-state thermal stability of the model dipeptides aspartame (APM) and aspartylphenylalanine (AP), have been investigated. Studies by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis (...

Structure of a 1:1 complex between L-Asp-L-Phe and L-His-Gly.

Acta Crystallogr. C 49 ( Pt 9) , 1673-6, (1993)

Both molecules occur in slightly folded conformations, characterized by phi 2 = -93.7 degrees in L-His-Gly and an unusual phi 2 = 60.2 degrees in L-Asp-L-Phe. The peptide linkage of L-His-Gly displays a substantial deviation from planarity with omega 1 = -163...

Intestinal absorption of aspartame decomposition products in adult rats.

Metab. Clin. Exp. 40(12) , 1337-45, (1991)

The dipeptide sweetener aspartame (N-L-alpha-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine, 1-methyl ester; alpha-APM) is relatively stable in dry powder form. However, when exposed to elevated temperature, extremes of pH and/or moisture, alpha-APM is converted into a variety of ...

Intestinal hydrolysis of aspartylphenylalanine--the metabolic product of aspartame.

Gastroenterology 91(4) , 931-7, (1986)

Aspartame [Nutrasweet, Equal (Searle Consumer Products, Chicago, Ill.)] is the methyl ester of the dipeptide aspartylphenylalanine (Asp-Phe). After hydrolysis of the ester bond in the intestinal lumen, the dipeptide is apparently absorbed and digested in the ...

Identification of N-beta-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine as a normal constituent of human plasma and urine.

J. Nutr. 119(5) , 713-21, (1989)

A new beta-aspartyl dipeptide, N-beta-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine (beta-AP), has been isolated and identified in urine and plasma from normal human volunteers. beta-AP was isolated from urine samples by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Its identi...

Thermodynamic determination of the binding constants of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors by a displacement method.

FEBS Lett. 581(18) , 3449-54, (2007)

Somatic angiotensin I-converting enzyme (s-ACE) plays a central role in blood pressure regulation and has been the target of most antihypertensive drugs. A displacement isothermal titration calorimetry method has been used to accurately determine the binding ...

Structural studies of C-amidated amino acids and peptides: crystal structures of Z-Gly-Phe-NH2, Tyr-Lys-NH2, and Asp-Phe-NH2.
