High - quality Methyl Jasmonate with CAS number 1211 - 29 - 6 is a well - known chemical compound. It is an ester of jasmonic acid and methanol. The product has a characteristic odor, which is often described as floral and slightly fruity.
In terms of physical properties, it is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. Its molecular formula is C₁₃H₂₀O₃, and the molecular weight is approximately 224.29 g/mol. The product is soluble in most organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and chloroform, but has limited solubility in water.
1. **Agricultural Applications**: Methyl Jasmonate plays a crucial role in plant defense mechanisms. It can be used as a plant growth regulator, inducing plant resistance to pests and diseases. By spraying it on crops, plants can be stimulated to produce secondary metabolites that are toxic to pests, thus reducing the need for chemical pesticides. For example, in tomato plants, it can enhance the production of protease inhibitors, which protect the plants from insect attacks.
2. **Flavor and Fragrance Industry**: Due to its pleasant floral - fruity odor, Methyl Jasmonate is widely used in the production of perfumes, colognes, and other scented products. It can add a natural and long - lasting fragrance to these products, making them more appealing to consumers.
3. **Biomedical Research**: In the field of biomedical research, Methyl Jasmonate has shown potential anti - cancer and anti - inflammatory properties. It can induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells and inhibit the production of pro - inflammatory cytokines, which makes it a promising candidate for the development of new drugs.
1. **Agricultural Use**: For agricultural spraying, it is recommended to dissolve Methyl Jasmonate in a suitable organic solvent first, such as ethanol. Then, the solution is diluted with water to an appropriate concentration. The concentration usually ranges from 10⁻⁶ to 10⁻³ M, depending on the type of crops and the specific application. It should be sprayed evenly on the leaves of the plants during the appropriate growth stage.
2. **Flavor and Fragrance Use**: In the flavor and fragrance industry, Methyl Jasmonate is used in small amounts. It is usually added to the perfume formulation at a concentration of 0.1% - 5%, depending on the desired fragrance intensity. It should be mixed thoroughly with other fragrance ingredients to ensure a uniform distribution.
3. **Biomedical Research Use**: In laboratory research, Methyl Jasmonate is often dissolved in DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) to prepare stock solutions. The stock solutions are then diluted with cell culture media to the required concentration for cell treatment. The concentration used in cell experiments can vary widely depending on the cell type and the research purpose.
1. **Agricultural Case**: A large - scale tomato farm in California applied Methyl Jasmonate to its tomato plants. By spraying a 10⁻⁴ M solution of Methyl Jasmonate on the plants every two weeks during the growing season, the farm observed a significant reduction in the incidence of tomato hornworm infestation. Compared with the control group without Methyl Jasmonate treatment, the yield of tomatoes in the treated group increased by 15%, and the quality of the tomatoes was also improved, with a brighter color and better taste.
2. **Fragrance Industry Case**: A well - known perfume brand incorporated Methyl Jasmonate into a new perfume product. By adding 2% of Methyl Jasmonate to the perfume formulation, the perfume acquired a unique and long - lasting floral - fruity note. The new perfume quickly became popular in the market, and the sales volume increased by 20% within the first six months of its launch.
3. **Biomedical Research Case**: In a research project on breast cancer, researchers treated breast cancer cells with Methyl Jasmonate at a concentration of 50 μM. After 48 hours of treatment, they found that the proliferation of breast cancer cells was significantly inhibited, and the expression of pro - apoptotic genes was upregulated. This result indicates the potential of Methyl Jasmonate as an anti - cancer agent.
