Description

(1S,2R,5S)-(+)-Menthol is a pharmacological agent that has been shown to have anti-inflammatory activity. It inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by competitively blocking cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2. (1S,2R,5S)-(+)-Menthol has also been shown to have x-ray crystal structures of the complex with sodium citrate in solution. These structures provide information about how menthol reacts with sodium citrate and water vapor for its reaction mechanism. The thermodynamic data for this process are also available. Menthol was found to be most effective when used in cell lysis experiments at a concentration of 1.0 mM and at room temperature. This compound is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in ethanol or chloroform but insoluble in water.
