Menthofuran-¹³C₂

Menthofuran-13C2 is the ¹³C-labeled Menthofuran, 84% (HY-N9484). Menthofuran, 84% is an orally active modulator of pulegone reductase with gastroprotective activity, and it is the metabolite of (R)-(+)-Pulegone. Menthofuran, 84% reduces the transcriptional level of pulegone reductase in immature peppermint leaves, increases the content of pulegone in peppermint essential oil, and regulates the biosynthesis of peppermint essential oil through a feedforward-like inhibition mechanism. Menthofuran, 84% decreases total gastric acidity, restores non-protein thiol levels, inhibits lipid peroxidation, and reduces myeloperoxidase activity, with its mechanism of action related to the NOS pathway and endogenous prostaglandins. Menthofuran, 84% can be used in studies related to gastric ulcers.
