Eucalyptol, 1,8 cineole, is an essential oil present in large amounts in a variety of plants which is frequently used in the manufacture of cosmetics, to increase percutaneous penetration of drugs, as a nasal decongestant and anticough agent, in aromatherapy, and in dentistry (1-4).
To investigate the actions of increasing eucalyptol concentrations on sarcoplasmic reticulum activity, a 15-s pause interval was used as previously described (20), and the results are presented as relative potentiation (the amplitude of post-rest contractions divided by steady-state contractions).
Eucalyptol is a monoterpene, one of the main components of essential oils used as aromatic compounds.

In male albino rats given eucalyptol at a dose of 800 mg/kg bw by gavage, the major metabolites included 2- and 3-hydroxy-1,8-cineole, and 1,8-dihydroxy-10-carboxy-p-menthane, which was possibly formed by oxidation of the metabolite p-menthane-1,8-diol produced by cleavage of the ether linkage (Madyastha and Chadha, 1986).

Although treatment with menthol or eucalyptol, or with cold temperatures, is a traditional method of pain relief (Wright, 1870; Green and Mcanliffe, 2000; Davies et al.

The evidence thus shows that menthol, eucalyptol, icilin and all of the newly identified agonists can produce cooling sensations, which may, at least in part, be explained by the activation of the TRPM8 cold receptor.
