Description:
(+/-)-Menthol, with the CAS number 15356-70-4, is a cyclic monoterpene alcohol derived from peppermint and other mint oils. It exists as a colorless or slightly yellowish liquid with a characteristic minty aroma. This compound exhibits a chiral nature, meaning it has two enantiomers: (+)-menthol, which is the more common form, and (−)-menthol. The substance is known for its cooling sensation, which is a result of its interaction with the TRPM8 receptor, making it popular in various applications, including food flavoring, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. (+/-)-Menthol is soluble in alcohol and oils but has limited solubility in water. It is also recognized for its antimicrobial properties and is often used in topical analgesics and cough suppressants. The compound's versatility and pleasant scent contribute to its widespread use in products ranging from toothpaste to topical creams. Safety data indicates that it is generally regarded as safe when used appropriately, although it can cause irritation in some individuals.

    (±)-Menthol

    CAS:
    <p>(±)-Menthol is a natural compound that has been found to have anti-cancer properties. It has been shown to inhibit the activity of kinases, which are enzymes involved in cell signaling pathways that regulate cell growth and survival. This inhibition leads to apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells. (±)-Menthol analogs have also been developed as inhibitors of cancer cell growth. In addition, (±)-Menthol has been found in human urine and can be used as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Recent studies have shown that (±)-Menthol can suppress tumor growth in Chinese hamster ovary cells by inhibiting protein synthesis. Overall, (±)-Menthol shows promising potential as an anticancer agent and warrants further investigation.</p>
