Abstract
Currently, there is limited insight into the influence of the different binding sites of agonists and antagonists of the sweet taste receptor TAS1R2/TAS1R3 on temporal sensory properties of sweet tasting compounds. We investigated whether the binding site and a competitive or allosteric inhibition of TAS1R2/TAS1R3 influence the time-dependent sensory perception and in vitro TAS1R2/TAS1R3-activation profiles. We compared time-intensity ratings of cyclamate, NHDC, acesulfame K, and aspartame with and without lactisole with the corresponding TAS1R2/TAS1R3-activation in transfected HEK293 cells. In combination with lactisole, cyclamate and NHDC demonstrated a shift of the dose–response curve corresponding to a competitive inhibition by lactisole in the sensory and the cell experiments. Allosteric inhibition by lactisole for aspartame and acesulfame K was seen in the cell experiments, but not the sensory ratings. In conclusion, the data do not support a major impact of the binding site on the time-intensity profile of the tested sweeteners.
