(-)-Limonene is found in mint oils and has a piney, turpentine-like odor. (-)-Limonene has an antioxidant effect and it cause rat myometrial contraction through activation of the A2A receptor and opening of the voltage-gated Ca(2+) channel. It is a natural larvicidal agents against A. aegypti. (-)-Limonene induced accumulation of protein droplets containing alpha 2 mu-globulin in proximal tubular epithelial cells in male rats, inducing nephropathy.
