Which monoterpene ketone is biotransformed into to the hepatotoxic compound

pulegone is biotransformed into to the hepatotoxic compound menthofuran and
its downstream metabolites,
Which monoterpene, which occurs in the essential oil of Parsley, has been used in
very small doses as an emmenagogue drug and abortifacient - ✔✔Apiol

phenolic acid called methyl salicylate. When ingested or absorbed in large
quantities through the skin, this compound causes salicylate poisoning and
nephrotoxicity. It is also used as a flavoring in candy and toothpaste, and is an
