Aspartame is used as an intense sweetening agent ... in pharmaceutical preparations including tablets, powder mixes, and vitamin preparations. It enhances flavor systems and can be used to mask some unpleasant taste characteristics; the approximate sweetening power is 80-200 times that of sucrose.

Aspartame is the methylester of a dipeptide composed of two amino acids, phenylalanine and aspartic acid. ... Persons with phenylketonuria, who must restrict carefully their phenylalanine intake, must be alerted to the presence of phenylalanine in the drug product and the amount of the ingredient in each dosage unit.
21 CFR 201.21 (USFDA); Declaration of presence of phenylalanine as a component of aspartame in over-the-counter and prescrpition drugs for human use
Excessive use of aspartame should be avoided by patients with phenylketonuria.

Aspartic acid and sodium glutamate were both neuroexcitatory amino acids which had an additive toxic effect on hypothalamic neurones. As this might be specially damaging to young children, who already receive sodium glutamate in gram quantities in their diet, aspartame should not generally be added to children's food.

Reported adverse effects include: headaches; grand mal seizure; memory loss; gastrointestinal symptoms; and dermatological symptoms. However, scientifically controlled peer-reviewed studies have consistently failed to produce evidence of a causal effect between aspartame consumption and adverse health events ...

Used as a diet supplement and sugar substitute.
Aspartame (L-alpha-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester) is a low-calorie sweetener used to sweeten a wide variety of low- and reduced-calorie foods and beverages, including low-calorie tabletop sweeteners. Aspartame is composed of two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine, as the methyl ester. Aspartic acid and phenylalanine are also found naturally in protein containing foods, including meats, grains and dairy products. Methyl esters are also found naturally in many foods such as fruits and vegetable and their juices. Upon digestion, aspartame breaks down into three components (aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol), which are then absorbed into the blood and used in normal body processes. Neither aspartame nor its components accumulates in the body. These components are used in the body in the same ways as when they are derived from common foods.
Sweetening Agents
Substances that sweeten food, beverages, medications, etc., such as sugar, saccharine or other low-calorie synthetic products. (From Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed) (See all compounds classified as Sweetening Agents.)
Absorption
Absorbed in the small intestine, aspartame is metabolized and absorbed very quickly.
Approximately 10% of aspartame (by weight) is broken down into methanol in the small intestine. Most of the methanol is absorbed and quickly converted into formaldehyde. Approximately 50% of aspartame (by weight) is broken down into phenylalanine. Approximately 40% of aspartame (by mass) is broken down into aspartic acid.
Unlike some other intense sweeteners, aspartame is metabolized in the body and consequently has some nutritive value: 1 g provides approx 17 kJ (4 kcal). However, in practice, the small quantity of aspartame consumed provides a minimal nutritive effect.
Rowe, R.C., Sheskey, P.J., Quinn, M.E.; (Eds.), Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients 6th edition Pharmaceutical Press, London, England 2009, p. 48
The use of aspartame has been of some concern owing to the formation of the potentially toxic metabolites methanol, aspartic acid, and phenylalanine. Of these materials, only phenylalanine is produced in sufficient quantities, at normal aspartame intake levels, to cause concern.
Rowe, R.C., Sheskey, P.J., Quinn, M.E.; (Eds.), Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients 6th edition Pharmaceutical Press, London, England 2009, p. 49
Aspartame [SC-18862; 3-amino-N-(alpha-carboxyphenethyl) succinamic acid, methyl ester, the methyl ester of aspartylphenylalanine] is a sweetening agent that organoleptically has about 180 times the sweetness of sugar. The metabolism of aspartame has been studied in mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, monkeys, and humans. The compound was digested in all species in the same way as are natural constituents of the diet. Hydrolysis of the methyl group by intestinal esterases yielded methanol, which was oxidized in the one-carbon metabolic pool to CO2. The resultant dipeptide was split at the mucosal surface by dipeptidases and the free amino acids were absorbed. The aspartic acid moiety was transformed in large part to CO2 through its entry into the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Phenylalanine was primarily incorporated into body protein either unchanged or as its major metabolite, tyrosine.
PMID:827618 Ranney RE, et al; J Toxicol Environ Health 2 (2): 441-51 (1976).
Although aspartame was hydrolyzed in the gut of the monkey to its constituent moieties, methanol, aspartic acid, and phenylalanine, the ingestion of 15 or 60 mg/kg doses for 10 days did not modify phenylalanine metabolism. Aspartame had little effect on the disappearance of iv admin (14)C-phenylalanine from the plasma, it did not substantially affect the conversion of phenylalanine into tyrosine or carbon dioxide, and it did not alter the rate of incorporation of label into protein. The majority of phenylalanine derived from aspartame was incorporated into body protein, with only 20-25% of the compound being excreted. 60-80% of the derived methanol and aspartic acid was oxidized to carbon dioxide.

For more Metabolism/Metabolites (Complete) data for Aspartame (7 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
At room temperature, aspartame is most stable at pH 4.3, where its half-life is nearly 300 days. At pH 7, its half-life is shortened to only a few days.
180 to 200 times sweeter than sucrose, it is metabolized as a protein and its subsequent amino-acids used up in there respective mechanisms.
