Abstract
Abstract:
Pulegone ((R)-5-Methyl-2-(1-methylethylidine) cyclohexanone) is a pharmacologically
active, natural monoterpene ketone obtained from leaves and flowering
tops of the mint family (Lamiaceae). The aim is to comprise the physicochemical and
biological aspects of pulegone. All significant databases were collected via electronic
search using Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct and were compiled.
This review presents the occurrence, chemistry, and modifications of pulegone structure
and its effect on the biological system. Pulegone represents various pharmacological
properties, i.e., antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-feeding, antifungal, antiviral, and pesticide
activities, and has a significant role as an abortifacient and emmenagogue. Thus, this
present review concludes the knowledgeable erudition on pulegone that paves the way
for further work.
