Produktinformation
(-)-Menthone is a plant metabolite that is found in peppermint and other mint oils. It can be synthesized by the action of caffeic acid esterase on menthol, which is also present in peppermint oil. (-)-Menthone has been shown to inhibit the enzyme activities of human pathogens such as Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, and Shigella sonnei. (-)-Menthone also has genotoxic activity and has been shown to cause chromosome breaks in human lymphocytes. The reaction mechanism of (-)-menthone involves an intramolecular hydrogen transfer from one carbon atom to another. X-ray diffraction data from (-)-menthone crystals show a phase transition temperature of approximately -5°C for the molecule.
