Disease relevance of MENTHONE

 

High impact information on MENTHONE

  • An X-ray diffraction study of 6b reveals that the isopropyl group of the menthone ketal influences the position of the syn-pseudoaxial phenyl group in the TADDOL structure [3].
  • This early biosynthetic process is followed by a second, later oil maturation program (approximately coincident with flower initiation) in which the C3-carbonyl of menthone is reduced to yield (-)-(3R)-menthol and (+)-(3S)-neomenthol by two distinct NADPH-dependent ketoreductases [4].
  • Addition of either menthol or menthone to LA-N-5 cultures induced neurite outgrowth, cellular clustering, and reduction of cell growth in a dose-dependent fashion that correlated with the ability of these compounds to inhibit the DHP-insensitive Ca2+ influx [5].
  • Menthol and menthone cause loosening of the SC lipid bilayer due to breaking of hydrogen bonding between ceramides, resulting in penetration of water into the lipids of the SC lipid bilayer that leads to creation of new aqueous channels and is responsible for increased hydrophilicity of SC [6].
  • In ex vivo studies, both linoleic acid and menthone in combination with iontophoresis showed a synergistic enhancement of insulin permeation [7].
