SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
(-)-menthone:NADP+ oxidoreductase
NADH cannot replace NADPH as reductant. The Delta8,9-double bond of (+)-cis-isopulegone and the Delta1,2-double bond of (±)-piperitone are not substrates. The enzyme from peppermint (Mentha x piperita) converts (+)-pulegone into both (-)-menthone and (+)-isomenthone at a ratio of 70:30 for native enzyme but it does not catalyse the reverse reaction. This enzyme is a member of the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily.

simulation of the effects of environmental stress conditions on essential oil profiles, glandular trichome dynamics, overview. Substantially higher proportion of large-sized glandular trichomes, fewer medium-sized trichomes, and no small trichomes on plants lead to decreased (+)-pulegone and increased (-)-menthone contents

(+)-menthofuran
-
weak competitive inhibition, in peppermint plants grown under low-light conditions, (+)-menthofuran is selectively retained in secretory cells and accumulated to very high levels of up to 20 mM, whereas under regular growth conditions, (+)-menthofuran levels remain very low, below 0.4 mM
additional information
-
although (+)-menthofuran does not inhibit (+)-pulegone reductase activity, stem feeding with menthofuran selectively decreases enzyme transcript levels in immature leaves, thereby accounting for decreased reductase activity and increased pulegone content, overview, the flux of (+)-pulegone through pulegone reductase correlates negatively with the essential oil content of menthofuran, such that menthofuran, and pulegone increase, or decrease, in concert, overview
