Description

Dulcin is an artificial sweetener about 250 times sweeter than sugar discovered in 1884 by Joseph Berlinerbau. It was first mass-produced about seven years later. Despite the fact that it was discovered only five years after saccharin, it never enjoyed the latter compound’s market success. Still, it was an important sweetener of the early 20th century and had an advantage over saccharin in that it did not possess a bitter aftertaste. It is not known to occur as a natural product.
Early medical tests marked the substance as safe for human consumption, and it was considered ideal for diabetics. However, an FDA study in 1951 raised many questions about its safety resulting in its removal from the market in 1954 after animal testing revealed unspecified carcinogenic properties. In Japan, poisoning accidents by dulcin occurred frequently, and use of dulcin was forbidden in 1969.
Dulcin is also known by the names sucrol and valzin.

4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

/SRP:/ Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Poisons A and B/

10.Stability and reactivity

10.1 Reactivity

no data available

10.2 Chemical stability

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions

DULCIN is an example of an amide. Amides react with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides with strong reducing agents. Amides are very weak bases (weaker than water). Imides are less basic yet and in fact react with strong bases to form salts. That is, they can react as acids. Mixing amides with dehydrating agents such as P2O5 or SOCl2 generates the corresponding nitrile. The combustion of these compounds generates mixed oxides of nitrogen (NOx).

  • Toxicity to fish: no data available
  • Toxicity to daphnia and other aquatic invertebrates: no data available
  • Toxicity to algae: no data available
  • Toxicity to microorganisms: no data available

12.2 Persistence and degradability

AEROBIC: In Warburg respirometer studies using activated sludge inoculum at 2500 mg/L from three sewage treatment plants in Tennessee and a 144-hour incubation period, dulcin (present at 500 mg/L) was found to be toxic (inhibitory or lethal to sludge organisms) using Ashland City sludge(1); using Nashville sludge, theoretical oxygen demand ranged from 1.9-13.0%(1); using Franklin City sludge, theoretical oxygen demand ranged from 5.8-24.2%(1).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for dulcin(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 1.28(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of dulcin can be estimated to be 43(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggest that dulcin is expected to have very high mobility in soil. The estimated Koc value for dulcin, which is a phenylurea compound, are consistent with observed Koc values for phenylurea compounds and herbicides such as phenylurea, tolylurea, chlorophenylurea, fenuron, fluometuron, methoxyphenylurea, metoxuron and others(SRC) which have Koc values in the in range of 20 to 75(3).

12.5 Other adverse effects
