"COOLING" EFFECT OF L-MENTHOL WAS FOUND...TO BE SUPERIOR TO THAT PRODUCED BY OTHER ISOMERS; ODOR AND TASTE, TOO OF L-MENTHOL WERE SUPERIOR, WITH SOME OF THE ISOMERS PRODUCING SHARP, IRRITATING AND DISAGREEABLE PERCEPTIONS.
Osol, A., and R. Pratt. (eds.). The United States Dispensatory. 27th ed. Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott, 1973., p. 697
Used to treat occasional minor irritation, pain, sore mouth, and sore throat as well as cough associated with a cold or inhaled irritants.
Menthol is a covalent organic compound made synthetically or obtained from peppermint or other mint oils. Menthol induces a cooling sensation on the skin upon inhalation, oral ingestion, or topical application by stimulating the cold-sensitive receptors expressed on the skin, without actually causing a drop in the skin temperature.
...THE PERCENTAGE OF A DOSE OF L-MENTHOL THAT IS EXCRETED COMBINED WITH GLUCURONIC ACID IN THE RABBIT DEPENDS ON THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DOSE; THE LARGER THE DOSE, THE LESS IS THE CONJUGATION.

Corynebacterium sp. strain RWM1 grew with (-)-menthol, (-)-menthone and other acyclic monoterpenes as sole carbon sources. Growth on menthol was very slow, with a doubling time of more than 24 h, and was not rapid with (-)-menthone (doubling time 12 h). Concentrations of either carbon source greater than 0.025% inhibited growth. (-)-Menthone-grown cultures transiently accumulated 3,7-dimethyl-6-hydroxyoctanoate during growth, and (-)-menthol-grown cells oxidized (-)-menthol, (-)-menthone, 3,7-dimethyl-6-octanolide and 3,7-dimethyl-6-hydroxyoctanoate. Although neither a menthol oxidase nor a menthol dehydrogenase could be detected in extracts of (-)-menthol- or (-)-menthone-grown cells, an induced NADPH-linked monooxygenase with activity towards (-)-menthone was readily detected. With crude cell extracts, only 3,7-dimethyl-6-hydroxyoctanoate was detected as the reaction product. When the (-)-menthone monooxygenase was separated from an induced 3,7-dimethyl-6-octanolide hydrolase by chromatography on hydroxyapatite, the lactone 3,7-dimethyl-6-octanolide was shown to be the product of oxygenation.

Menthol primarily activates the cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors in the skin. Menthol, after topical application, causes a feeling of coolness due to stimulation of 'cold' receptors by inhibiting Ca++ currents of neuronal membranes. It may also yield analgesic properties via kappa-opioid receptor agonism.
