| Description | (-)-Menthol (Levomenthol) is a levo isomer of menthol, an organic compound made synthetically or obtained from peppermint or mint oils with flavoring and local anesthetic properties. When added to pharmaceuticals and foods, menthol functions as a fortifier for peppermint flavors. It also has a counterirritant effect on skin and mucous membranes, thereby producing a local analgesic or anesthetic effect. |
| In vitro | (-)-Menthol induces cytotoxicity against murine leukemia WEHI-3 cells in vitro in a dosedependent manner. (-)-Menthol inhibits the growth of rat liver epithelial tumor cells and acts as a potent chemopreventive agent during DMBA initiation of rat mammary tumors. (-)-menthol inhibits N-acetyltransferase activity. It also is found to inhibit the DNA topoisomerase I, II alpha and beta and to promote NF-kappaB expression in human gastric cancer SNU-5 cells. Additionally, (-)-menthol induces human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cell death through the Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum[1]. |
| In vivo | The effects of (-)-menthol on WEHI-3 cells in vivo (BALB/c mice) were also examined, and it was observed that the Mac-3 and CD11b markers were decreased, indicating inhibition of differentiation of the precursor of macrophage and granulocyte. The weights of liver and spleen samples from mice treated with (-)-menthol were found to be decreased compared to untreated animals. (-)-Menthol has been shown to be toxic in animals, but in humans, it is considered to be safe, with a small cardio-accelerating effect. At high doses (-)-menthol may exert a depressant effect on the central nervous system in rodents. (-)-menthol statistically decreases the weights of the liver and spleen in the examined animals and also decreases the percentage of MAC-3 and CD11b cells in the blood.[1]. |

| Cell Research | Approximately 2x105 cells (WEHI-3) are incubated in 12-well plates containing medium for 24 h without (control) or with various concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 μM) of (-)-menthol. The cells are harvested and washed with PBS before PI staining. The percentage of viable WEHI-3 cells is determined by trypan blue exclusion and flow cytometry. (Only for Reference) |

For example, if the intended dosage is 10 mg/kg for animals weighing 20 g , with a dosing volume of 100 μL per animal, and a total of 10 animals are to be administered, using a formulation of 
10% DMSO+ 40% PEG300+ 5% Tween 80+ 45% Saline/PBS/ddH2O , the resulting working solution concentration would be 2 mg/mL.Dissolve 2 mg of the compound in 100 μL DMSO to obtain a stock solution at a concentration of 20 mg/mL . If the required concentration exceeds the compound's known solubility, please contact us for technical support before proceeding.
1) Add 100 μL of the DMSO stock solution to 400 µL PEG300 and mix thoroughly until the solution becomes clear.
2) Add 50 µL Tween 80 and mix well until fully clarified.
3) Add 450 µL Saline,PBS or ddH2O and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous solution is obtained.
