Pulegone
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Pulegone is a monoterpene ketone compound widely present in the essential oils of many plants. Pulegone can also be used as a bird repellent. Pulegone has multiple activities such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-hyperalgesic effects. Pulegone is particularly effective against bacteria of the Salmonella species.

Biological Activity
Pulegone (6.25-50 µg/mL; 20-26 h) can inhibit the expression of inflammatory mediators by downregulating the iNOS, COX-2, NF-κB, and MAPK signaling pathways and upregulating Nrf-2/HO-1 in LPS (HY-D1056)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells[1].
Pulegone (0.01-3 mM; 0-5 min) can increase the intracellular Ca2+ concentration in chicken sensory neurons[2].
Pulegone (0.01-3 mM; 0-5 min) can activate TRPM8 and TRPA1 and inhibit TRPM8 at high concentrations (1 mM and above) in HEK293 cells expressing chicken TRPM8, TRPA1, and TRPV1[2].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.25 mg/mL (14.78 mM); Clear solution
