Product Information

• Name: Methyl jasmonate
• Synonyms: Methyl 2- (3- oxo- 2- (pent- 2- en- 1- yl) cyclopentyl) acetate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Methyl jasmonate is a bioactive compound that is found in plants. It is a potent inducer of protein synthesis and transcription of genes involved in the plant's defense response. Methyl jasmonate has been shown to be an optimum concentration (0.1 μM) synchronous fluorescence induction, which occurs in vitro in HL-60 cells. This compound is not cytotoxic but induces cell death through apoptosis by increasing the expression of proteins involved in DNA replication, repair, and transcription. The bioactive phenolic compounds that are induced by methyl jasmonate are also responsible for its antioxidant properties. Methyl jasmonate may also play a role in the brain, as it has been shown to regulate neurotransmitter release and gene expression of synapses in rat brains. This compound also plays a role in leaf senescence by inducing the production of chlorogenic acids and polyphenols.
