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.

Description

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[1][2][3][4][5].

In Vitro

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].

Western Blot Analysis[1]

Cell Line: LPS (HY-D1056)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells.
Concentration: 6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50 µg/mL
Incubation Time: Pretreated with 2 h, then co-incubation for 18 h
Result: Inhibited the expression of iNOS, COX-2 and NF-κB.
Downregulated phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38.
In Vivo

Pulegone (100 mM; intraplantar injection; single dose) can induce pain-related behaviors in chicks, but these behaviors can be inhibited by a TRPA1 antagonist[2].
Pulegone (10-150 mg/kg; intraperitoneal injection; single dose) has a beneficial effect in a rat model of inflammatory pain[3].

Animal Model: Male Wistar rats (300 g) treated Complete Freund's adjuvant (HY-153808)[3].
Dosage: 10, 50, 100 and 150 mg/kg
Administration: Intraperitoneal injection; single dose
Result: Exerted an anti-hyperalgesic effect, increased the mechanical threshold, thermal heat threshold and decreased the thermal cold score at dose of 100 mg/kg.
Was devoid of in vivo locomotor side effects.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
