Menthol (Standard)
Product Specifications
UNSPSC Description
Menthol (Standard) is the analytical standard of Menthol. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Menthol is an analgesic and TRPM8 modulator. TRPM8 is a cold temperature sensing ion channel, and Menthol can regulate TRPM8 to exert analgesic and anti-irritation mechanisms. Menthol stimulates cold receptors and produces a cooling sensation by inhibiting Ca++ currents in neuronal cell membranes. Menthol also improves oral nicotine rejection in mice[1][2][3].
