The jasmonates are a group of plant stress hormones that naturally occur in plants following exposure to certain types of stresses, including pathogen and herbivore attacks. (±)-Jasmonic acid methyl ester is a mixture of trans (3R/7R and 3S/7S) isomers. (±)-Jasmonic acid methyl ester induces the synthesis of proteinase inhibitors in plant leaves.{16943} In cancer cells, it suppresses proliferation and induces apoptosis.{16945} More specifically, methyl jasmonate inhibits hexokinase that is bound to mitochondria.{16944} As hexokinase is overexpressed in cancer cells and contributes to cancer cell growth and survival, methyl jasmonate’s disruption of mitochondrial hexokinase activity selectively targets, and kills, cancer cells. (±)-Jasmonic acid methyl ester derivatives also have potential as anti-inflammatory agents.{16946}
