Chemical Information
FooDB Name(R)-p-Menth-4(8)-en-3-one
Description(R)-p-Menth-4(8)-en-3-one, also known as (+-)-pulegone or isopulegone, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as menthane monoterpenoids. These are monoterpenoids with a structure based on the o-, m-, or p-menthane backbone. P-menthane consists of the cyclohexane ring with a methyl group and a (2-methyl)-propyl group at the 1 and 4 ring position, respectively. The o- and m- menthanes are much rarer, and presumably arise by alkyl migration of p-menthanes (R)-p-Menth-4(8)-en-3-one is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa).

anti pyretic35493 A drug that prevents or reduces fever by lowering the body temperature from a raised state. An antipyretic will not affect the normal body temperature if one does not have fever. Antipyretics cause the hypothalamus to override an interleukin-induced increase in temperature. The body will then work to lower the temperature and the result is a reduction in fever.DUKE
