Results and discussion

Main ADME results
Type:
metabolism
Results:
d-Isomenthone is reduced in the rabbit, d-isomenthol (isolated as the glucuronide) being identified as a reduction product.

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
At least part of the d-isomenthone molecule is reduced in the rabbit to menthanols one of which is d-isomenthol.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
d-Isomenthone is reduced in the rabbit to d-isomenthol.
Executive summary:

d-Isomenthone is reduced in the rabbit and d-isomenthol was identified as a reduction product.
