Description

Jasmone is a natural organic compound extracted from the volatile portion of the oil from jasmine flowers. The natural extract contains only the cis form, while the synthetic material is often a mixture containing both forms, with the cis form predominating. Commercially it is used primarily in perfumes and cosmetics. Some studies on rodents had shown that cis-jasmine had a tranquillizing effect on the brain, possibly through the GABA-A receptors response.

Sample Use Guides

In Vivo Use Guide
in mice: The aroma of cis-jasmone or methyl jasmonate was generated by bubbling it with an air-pump. Air containing the fragrant compound (0.5 mM) was introduced into the cage. Male ddY strain male mice were exposed to the aroma 30 min prior to the administration of pentobarbital, because it possibly took some time before the aroma was absorbed into the blood through respiration.
Route of Administration: Irrigation
