“…The yields of EOs from the studied Nepeta species were from 0.18% (N. binaludensi) to 0.79% (N. assurgens). In previous studies, EO yields of N. cataria were in the range of 0.1-2.5%, in plants from different regions (Table 5), whereas the yield of N. binaludensis collected in Iran was 0.74% [11]. Therefore, the previously reported EO yields from N. cataria were remarkably higher: 2.5% [19] and 1.02% [8] from plants cultivated in Iran and Morocco, respectively.…”

Essential oils (EOs) of three Iranian cultivated Nepeta species were investigated. The oils were obtained by hydrodistillation of air-dried plant materials at full flowering stage and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectroscopy (GC/MS). In total, 89 compounds were detected. In over 2 years, a number of constituents were identified in the EO of Nepeta binaloudensis first and second years (26 and 37, respectively), Nepeta cataria (25 and 32, respectively), and Nepeta assurgens (45 and 50, respectively). In the oils of N. binaloudensis, 4a-α,7-α,7a-α-nepetalactone (NL) 59.7% and 1,8-cineole (19.6%) during the first and second years, respectively, were the main constituents. The main components of N. cataria were 4a-α,7-α,7a-β-NL (72.8%) and 4a-α,7-β,7a-α-NL (73.9%) during the first and second years, respectively, and 4a–α,7-α,7a-α-NL (55.5%) and 1,8-cineole (24.1%) during the first and second years, respectively, were the main constituents of N. assurgens. The results showed that NLs isomers and 1,8-cineole were the main components of the oils of three cultivated Nepeta species.

Nepeta binaludensis Jamzad is an endemic and rare perennial plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family, which grows in a limited area in Binaloud Mountain in northeast of Iran. In this study to evaluate the diversity of 20 populations (localities) of N. binaludensis and the influence of environmental factors on essential oil (EO) content and composition, the plant aerial parts were collected at the full flowering stage. The plant materials dried in shade and subjected to hydro-distillation for obtaining their EOs. Analysis of the EO was carried out using GC and GC/MS. The oil yields were varied from 1.2 to 4.9%. Classification of populations was made based on EO compounds. The results of mean comparison between populations belong to different habitats showed that the populations of Darood and Friezy with average values of 4.91 and 1.2% had the highest and lowest EO yield, respectively. Twenty-two compounds were identified in the oils with 1,8-cineol (25.4–59.0%), 4aα,7α,7aα-nepetalactone (13.8–55.1%), myrcene (2.3–5.5%) and p-cymene (1.1–5.7%) as the main components. Result of correlation analysis showed that the oil yield was positively correlated with precipitation and negatively with temperature. In addition, 1,8-cineole was positively and nepetalactone was negatively correlated with altitude. Cluster analysis by Ward method categorized the populations into two groups. The major compound of the oils in cluster 1 was nepetalactone (with an average of 37.9%), while the oils in cluster 2, contained higher percentage of 1,8-cineole (52–59%). Most of the populations in cluster 2, were originated from high, cold, rainy, and steep areas.

Abstract:The essential oil of the aerial parts of Nepeta binaludensis Jamzad , an endemic species to Iran, was obtained by hydro-distillation and analyzed by GC, GC-MS and then 13 C-NMR spectra of the main compounds. Sixty-five components, representing 97.42 % of the oil were identified. The major components of the oil were 1,8-cineol (68.31 %), α-terpineol (5.24 %), β-pinene (4.74 %), δ-terpineol (2.57 %), α-pinene (1.54 %). The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum cidal concentrations (MCCs) of the essential oil and it's major component, 1,8-cineol, as authentic compound were determined using broth dilution method against four bacteria and one fungus. The essential oil was moderately active against Bacillus cereus (3.125 mg/ml), Escherichia coli (3.125 mg/ml), Staphylococcus aureus (6.25 mg/ml) and Candida albicans (12.5 mg/ml) with the same MIC and MCC values in each case. Another gram negative bacteria, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, appeard not to be susceptible to inhibitory effects of the essential oil. The obtained MIC and MCC values for 1,8-cineol were closely near to the essential oil values.
