Abstract
In this work, we investigated the reaction of cyclamate with hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in simulated gastric juice. The reaction products were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS). We also explored the changes in product concentration as a function of reaction time, cyclamate and HOCl concentrations. Cyclamate reacted with hypochlorous acid instantly in the simulated gastric fluid. N, N-dichlorcyclohexylamine and cyclohexylamine were both detected when the HOCl concentration was at millimole. Cyclohexylamine can only be found when HOCl concentration was at micromole. N, N-dichlorcyclohexylamine and cyclohexylamine concentrations both increased when cyclamate concentration increased under the millimole level of HOCl. As an important reactive oxygen species, hypochlorous acid (HClO) is produced in various physiological processes. The abnormal rise of the HClO level is associated with many inflammatory diseases. Chronic gastritis associated with Helicobacter pylori is a multistep, progressive, life-long inflammation. So, chronic gastritis infected with H. pylori may cause cyclamate metabolizing into cyclohexylamine in vivo.

Use of acceptable daily intake (ADI) as a health-based benchmark in nutrition research studies that consider the safety of low-calorie sweeteners (LCS): a systematic map. BMC Public Health 2021; 21:956.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is well-recognized that consumers face many challenges in understanding and applying nutritional guidance for low-calorie sweeteners (LCS). Thus, this research aims to (1) assess how benchmarks for safe levels of consumption of LCS are utilized by researchers, and (2) understand how varying use of such benchmarks may contribute to challenges in understanding and applying nutritional guidance for LCS consumption. METHODS A systematic mapping exercise was employed to characterize when and how acceptable daily intake (ADI) values are used as health-based benchmarks in nutrition research studies that consider the safety of LCS. RESULTS Based on results from charting 121 studies, our findings demonstrate that comparisons of LCS intake to an ADI derived by an authoritative body have been made in a diverse set of published literature, varying widely in their objectives, approaches, and populations of interest. The majority of studies compared the ADI to intake in a population under study; these represent the type of comparison that is most consistent with the intent of the ADI. Other applications of the ADI included use as a benchmark in experimental studies, risk-benefit analyses, and metabolism studies. CONCLUSION Although most instances of ADI use were reasonable within the context of the individual studies' objectives, the diversity in use by original-study authors amplifies the continued need for development of "best practices" regarding the use and interpretation of the ADIs in current research. Using comparisons to the ADI can be a helpful way to provide context to research findings. However, in doing so, it is important that researchers utilize the value in a manner specific with its intent, as the ADI is a metric that represents an estimate of the amount of a substance that can be consumed daily over a lifetime without presenting an appreciable risk to health.

Abstract
Wet age-related macular degeneration (wAMD) causes central vision loss and represents a major health problem in elderly people. Here we have used untargeted metabolomics using UHPLC-MS to profile plasma from 127 patients with wAMD (67 choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and 60 polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV)) and 50 controls. A total of 545 biochemicals were detected. Among them, 17 metabolites presented difference between patients with wAMD and controls. Most of them were oxidized lipids (N=6, 35.29%). Comparing to controls, 28 and 18 differential metabolites were identified in patients with CNV and PCV, respectively. Two metabolites, hyodeoxycholic acid and L-tryptophanamide, were differently distributed between PCV and CNV. We first investigated the genetic association with metabolites in wet AMD (CFH rs800292 and HTRA1 rs10490924). We identified six differential metabolites between the GG and AA genotypes of CFH rs800292, five differential metabolites between the GG and AA genotypes of HTRA1 rs10490924, and four differential metabolites between the GG and GA genotypes of rs10490924. We selected four metabolites (cyclamic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid, L-tryptophanamide and O-phosphorylethanolamine) for in vitro experiments. Among them, cyclamic acid reduced the activity, inhibited the proliferation, increased the apoptosis and necrosis in human retinal pigment epithelial cells (HRPECs). L-tryptophanamide affected the proliferation, apoptosis and necrosis in HRPECs, and promoted the tube formation and migration in primary human retinal endothelial cells (HRECs). Hyodeoxycholic acid and O-phosphorylethanolamine inhibited the tube formation and migration in HRECs. The results suggested that differential metabolites have certain effects on wAMD pathogenesis-related HRPECs and HRECs.

Abstract
High sugar content in beverage or food can affect the aging process, and thus natural/artificial sweeteners are widely used as substitutes. However, whether sweeteners have such adverse effects as sugar remains to be clarified. Therefore, in the current study, three sulfa sweeteners, namely, saccharin sodium salt hydrate (SAC2), sodium cyclamate (CYC3) and acesulfame potassium (AceK4) were evaluated for their effects on the lifespan, deposition of lipofuscin, exercise activity, food intake, and intestinal fat deposition (IFD5) of Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans6). It was shown that SAC at 0.3 and 10 mg/mL shortened the lifespan of C. elegans and impaired the exercise capacity, while at other concentrations no significant effects were observed. In contrast, CYC at 0.1, 1 and 10 mg/mL prolonged the lifespan of C. elegans. On the other hand, AceK at 1 mg/mL increased the lifespan of C. elegans, and could decrease both lipofuscin deposition and IFD in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together, these results indicated that although SAC, CYC, and AceK all belong to the sulfa sweeteners, each has distinct effects on different physiological activities associated with aging, at least in C. elegans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Food products containing non-nutritive sweeteners (NNSs) instead of sugar have become increasingly popular in the last decades. Their appeal is obviously related to their calorie-free sweet taste. However, with the dramatic increase in their consumption, it is reasonable and timely to evaluate their potential health benefits and, more importantly, potential adverse effects. The main aim of this scoping review was to map the evidence about health outcomes possibly associated with regular NNS consumption by examining the extent, range, and nature of research activity in this area. METHODS We systematically searched Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane CENTRAL databases for studies on NNSs (artificial sweeteners or natural, non-caloric sweeteners, either used individually or in combination) using text terms with appropriate truncation and relevant indexing terms. All human studies investigating any health outcomes of a NNS intervention or exposure were eligible for inclusion. No studies were excluded based on language, study design or methodological quality. Data for each health outcome were summarized in tabular form and were discussed narratively. RESULTS Finally, we included 372 studies in our scoping review, comprising 15 systematic reviews, 155 randomized controlled trials (RCTs), 23 non-randomized controlled trials, 57 cohort studies, 52 case-control studies, 28 cross sectional studies and 42 case series/case reports. In healthy subjects, appetite and short term food intake, risk of cancer, risk of diabetes, risk of dental caries, weight gain and risk of obesity are the most investigated health outcomes. Overall there is no conclusive evidence for beneficial and harmful effects on those outcomes. Numerous health outcomes including headaches, depression, behavioral and cognitive effects, neurological effects, risk of preterm delivery, cardiovascular effects or risk of chronic kidney disease were investigated in fewer studies and further research is needed. In subjects with diabetes and hypertension, the evidence regarding health outcomes of NNS use is also inconsistent. CONCLUSIONS This scoping review identifies the needs for future research to address the numerous evidence gaps related to health effects of NNSs use.It also specifies the research questions and areas where a systematic review with meta-analyses is required for the proper evaluation of health outcomes associated to regular NNSs consumption.

Abstract
Cyclamate and its metabolite cyclohexylamine affect male fertility in high dose animal studies, but this affect has not been investigated in epidemiological studies. This paper reports the first epidemiological study designed to investigate the possibility of a relationship between cyclamate and cyclohexylamine and male fertility in humans, in which 405 cases of clinically defined infertility in men and 379 controls were surveyed. Semen evaluation, urine analysis for cyclamate and cyclohexylamine and dietary questionnaires were compared between cases and controls. No evidence was found of a significant association between cyclamate intake and male infertility; neither high cyclamate nor high cyclohexylamine excretion were associated with elevated risk. The lack of association remained after adjusting by age, area of residence, education, total energy intake and other variables. No significant correlations were observed between cyclamate intake, metabolism or excretion, and sperm count and motility. The results demonstrate no effect of cyclamate or cyclohexylamine on male fertility at the present levels of cyclamate consumption.

Abstract
This paper describes a flow-injection (FI) method for the simultaneous determination of aniline and cyclohexylamine impurities in cyclamate products. The method consists of the derivatization of amines with 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate under selective and non-selective conditions. Here, the selectivity is achieved by working at 20 degree C, at which only aniline reacts, whilst higher temperatures (80 degree C) lead to a non-selective reaction of the two analytes. The FI manifold is composed of two flow cells for the spectrophotometric detection of derivatives at 480 nm. Experimental conditions have been optimized by factorial design and multicriteria making approach. Quantification is accomplished by differential analysis of the analyte contributions in the double peaks generated when the sample reaches cell 1 and cell 2. Results obtained with the proposed method are in satisfactory agreement with those provided by the standard method for the analysis of cyclamate samples.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the reaction of cyclamate and its major metabolite, cyclohexylamine (CyhNH2), with NaOCl. NaOCl at 100 microM was allowed to react with various concentrations of cyclamate and CyhNH2, and the reactivity was compared with those of reduced glutathione (GSH) and ascorbic acid. The results showed that CyhNH2 was less reactive with NaOCl than GSH but was slightly more reactive than ascorbic acid at concentrations below 50 microM. CyhNH2 at 75 and 100 microM did not further decrease NaOCl. Cyclamate was much less reactive than CyhNH2, with only 43% loss in NaOCl at 100 microM cyclamate. When human blood plasma was incubated with 0.75 microM NaOCl, inclusion of CyhNH2 enhanced oxidation of sulfhydryl groups in a concentration-dependent manner, with complete oxidation of SH groups at 7.5 mM CyhNH2. Cyclamate had no effect. This enhancement by CyhNH2 suggests the formation of reactive products from the reaction of CyhNH2 with NaOCl. Absorption spectra demonstrated that reaction of CyhNH2 with NaOCl at pH 7.4 produced N-monochloramine, as evidenced by the appearance of a new peak at 245 nm and by the disappearance of the 292-nm peak of NaOCl. Cyclamate, which contains a sulfamic acid instead of a primary amine, also reacted with NaOCl at pH 7.4, but the reaction was much less pronounced and the product was probably not monochloramine since the peak was at 270 nm rather than at 245 nm. Because cyclamate is an important sweetener in many countries for people with diabetes mellitus, the possibility exists that CyhNH2 may enhance oxidation of important proteins by HOCl/OCl-.

Abstract
A 10-fold uncertainty factor is used for noncancer risk assessments to allow for possible interindividual differences between humans in the fate of the chemical in the body (kinetics) and target organ sensitivity (dynamics). Analysis of a database on the variability in each of these aspects is consistent with an even subdivision of the 10-fold factor into 10(0.5) (3.16) for kinetics and 10(0.5) (3.16) for dynamics. Analysis of the number of subjects in a normally and log-normally distributed population which would not be covered by factors of 3.16 supports this subdivision and also the use of a 10-fold factor to allow for both aspects. Analysis of kinetic data for subgroups of the population indicates that the standard default value of 3.16 for kinetics will not be adequate for all routes of elimination and all groups of the population. A scheme is proposed which would allow the selection of appropriate default uncertainty factors based on knowledge of the biological fate and effects of the chemical under review.

Abstract
An HPLC isocratic method with pre-column derivatization and UV detection for the quantification of cyclamate and cyclohexylamine in urine samples is described. The method requires very little sample preparation. Free cyclohexylamine is analysed in a first run and subsequently cyclamate is analysed as cyclohexylamine, after the simple process of oxidation of the sample by means of hydrogen peroxide. Cycloheptylamine is used as internal standard. Trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) appears to be a good reagent for the pre-column derivatization. The time per run is 15 min; the coefficients of variation of the assays range from 1.1 to 5.5%; the limits of detection are 0.09 and 0.11 ppm for cyclohexylamine and cyclamate anion, respectively. The system described has always performed efficiently, with a high degree of stability, in daily routine work.

Abstract
We have previously shown that lymphocytic cells adhere to cultured syncytiotrophoblast and that this may be important in the lymphocyte-mediated infection of trophoblast with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). During the course of studies aimed at investigating the role of cell surface carbohydrates in adhesion, it was discovered that a contaminant of commercial fucose-1-phosphate, dicyclohexylamine, inhibited MOLT-trophoblast adhesion. Dicyclohexylamine and the related compounds, cyclohexylamine and hexylamine, inhibited adhesion in a dose-responsive manner with half-maximal inhibition seen at about 4 mM. While the pressor effects of cyclohexylamine, the principal metabolite of cyclamate, are well known, this is the first report of an effect of this and related compounds on cell adhesion activity. The inhibitory effect was reversible and, at concentrations less than 25 mM, did not result in loss of cell viability. Several possible mechanisms of action of cyclohexylamine were examined in an attempt to explain the effect on adhesion. No evidence was found to suggest that the effects of cyclohexylamine were due to inhibition of polyamine synthesis, increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration or to a lysosomotropic effect. The concentrations of cyclohexylamine used are within the range of plasma concentrations attainable in humans, raising the possibility that the in vitro effects described here may also occur in vivo. The results also suggest that caution should be used in the interpretation of results obtained from experiments where cell adhesion is blocked using exogenous monosaccharides that are in the form of dicyclohexylammonium salts. Appropriate controls must be included or, if possible, sodium, potassium or barium salts should be chosen.

Intravenous infusion of cyclohexylamine (30-120 mg/kg) caused a dose-dependent increase in blood pressure in urethane-anesthetized rats. The increase in blood pressure was inversely related to the duration of the infusion. The blood pressure returned to baseline values (+/- 5 mm Hg) within 60 min of the end of the infusion after doses of 30 and 60 mg/kg were administered over 20 and 40 min. The plasma concentrations of cyclohexylamine were related linearly to the administered dose and decreased only 27% between the end of the infusion and 60 min later. The concentration-effect relationship showed clockwise hysteresis, indicative of tachyphylaxis, as has been reported in humans (Eichelbaum et al., 1974). Administration of bolus doses of tyramine at the end of the infusion or 60 min later demonstrated the presence of an indirect sympathomimetic response, although this was attenuated to a greater extent by high doses and more rapid infusions of cyclohexylamine. An almost complete loss of response to tyramine was found only in animals given 120 mg/kg over 40 min. The presence of a tyramine response 60 min after the infusion of 60 mg/kg occurred when there was an essentially complete reversal of the hypertensive effect of cyclohexylamine. These data indicate that the hypertensive effect of the indirectly acting sympathomimetic amine cyclohexylamine occurs primarily during rapid increases in plasma concentrations. Tachyphylaxis develops rapidly after the cessation of the infusion which is probably due largely to reuptake of released noradrenaline at low doses and depletion of releasable noradrenaline at high doses.
