"Methyl jasmonate: bridging plant defense mechanisms and human therapeutics".

A volatile organic substance produced from jasmonic acid, methyl jasmonate (MJ/MeJA), is an important plant hormone involved in stress responses and plant defense. Apart from its role in plants, MJ has garnered significant attention because of its pharmacological effects and possible therapeutic use in human health. This thorough analysis looks into the many biological actions of MJ, such as its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects. The underlying mechanism of these actions is examined, emphasizing MJ's ability to modulate important signaling pathways, cause cancer cells to undergo apoptosis, and boost immunological responses. Furthermore, MJ's capacity to manage long-term illnesses like cancer and neurological conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's is examined. Preclinical and clinical research are beginning to provide evidence that MJ may be a useful medicinal drug. Nevertheless, more research is needed to fully understand its mode of action, enhance its administration methods, and evaluate its efficacy and safety in humans. This review highlights MJ's therapeutic promise and supports earlier research into its pharmacological capabilities and possible medical applications. This abstract highlights methyl jasmonate's pharmacological effects and therapeutic potential by providing a concise overview of the main topics covered in a thorough review.
