Metabolite Identification
Common NameSaccharin
DescriptionSaccharin, also known as benzosulfimide or O-sulfobenzimide, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzothiazoles. These are organic compounds containing a benzene fused to a thiazole ring (a five-membered ring with four carbon atoms, one nitrogen atom and one sulfur atom). Saccharin exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa) molecule.
