QUICK LINKS

(+)-Neomenthol is naturally occurring derivative of Menthol (sc-202705) with the stereochemistry swapped at the hydroxyl group. (+)-Neomenthol is described as a product of the metabolism of (−)-Menthone (sc-228448), and is useful as a marker compound for studying the metabolism of Menthol and its derivatives. It has been found to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-microbial properties.
