Effects of common monoterpenoid alcohols and ketones were investigated on recombinant human gamma-aminobutyric acid A (GABA(A); alpha(1)beta(2)gamma(2)s) and glycine (alpha(1) homomers) receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes. GABA currents were enhanced by coapplications of 10-300 muM: (+)-menthol>(-)-menthol>(-)-bomeo>>(-)-menthone=camphor enantiomers>carvone enantiomers, with menthol acting stereo-selectively. By contrast, thujone diastereomers inhibited GABA(A) receptor currents while glycine currents were only markedly potentiated by menthol. Positive modulation by (+)-menthol was explored given its pronounced effects (e.g., at 100 muM, GABA and glycine EC20 responses increased by 496 +/- 113% and 135 +/- 56%, respectively). (+)-Menthol, 100 muM, reduced EC50 values for GABA and glycine from 82.8 +/- 9.9 to 25.0 +/- 1.8 muM, and from 98.7 +/- 8.6 to 75.7 +/- 9.4 muM respectively, with negligible effects on maximal currents. This study reveals a novel neuroactive role for menthol as a stereoselective modulator of inhibitory ligand-gated channels. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
