(+)-Menthofuran is utilized as an insecticide, and an antimicrobial substance. It is integral in the production of compounds like menthol, menthone, and isomenthone. It is suggested to affect various cellular signaling cascades. Research indicates that (+)-Menthofuran can impede the activity of certain enzymes, such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and lipoxygenase (LOX). Furthermore, there is evidence pointing to its capability to stimulate transient receptor potential (TRP) channels associated with sensing pain and thermal changes.
