Disease relevance of Pulegon

  • Administration of menthofuran, a known oxidative and hepatotoxic metabolite of pulegone, only marginally affected glutathione levels in plasma and liver, and toxicity was not augmented by buthionine sulfoximine [1].
  • At the two highest doses, pulegone induced atonia, decreased blood creatinine content, lowered terminal body weight and caused histopathological changes in the liver and in the white matter of cerebellum [2].
  • Only pulegone showed antimicrobial activity, particularly against all the Salmonella species [3].

Chemical compound and disease context of Pulegon

 

Biological context of Pulegon

  • [figure: see text] A series of epimeric 8-aryl menthyl derivatives 5a-d and 6a-l, prepared from the same chiral source (R)-pulegone, were employed as chiral auxiliaries in the asymmetric radical cyclization reactions of beta-keto esters mediated by Mn(OAc)3 [9].
 

Anatomical context of Pulegon

 

Associations of Pulegon with other chemical compounds

  • Partial characterization of biliary metabolites of pulegone by tandem mass spectrometry. Detection of glucuronide, glutathione, and glutathionyl glucuronide conjugates [13].
  • It could be shown that both labeled pulegone enantiomers are converted by Mentha x piperita to the corresponding labeled menthofuran enantiomers, favoring the labeled analogue of the nongenuine (S)-pulegone [14].
 

Gene context of Pulegon

  • 1. (R)-(+)-Pulegone is a monoterpene that is oxidized by cytochromes P-450 to reactive metabolites that initiate events in the pathogenesis of hepatotoxicity in mice, rats and humans [15].
  • Pulegone was given orally by gavage to groups of 28 SPF Wistar rats at dosage levels of 0 or 160 mg/kg body weight per day for 28 days [16].
