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}

    CAY10512 – 50 mg

    The nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) regulates the expression of numerous genes involved in immunity and inflammation, cellular stress responses, growth, and apoptosis. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic trans-stilbene, is a known inhibitor of the activation of NF-κB and exhibits activity against a wide variety of cancer cells. CAY10512 is a substituted trans-stilbene analog of resveratrol that is 100-fold more potent as measured by antioxidant activity. The IC50 value for inhibition of TNFα-induced activation of NF-κB by CAY10512 is 0.15 µM compared to 20 µM by resveratrol.{14545}
