“…The chemical constituents of the essential oils of N. cataria and N. crassifolia growing in Mazandaran province of Iran were studied in view of its different climatic conditions as compared to area studied earlier [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] . Isolation of essential oils: The dried flowering aerial parts of N. cataria and N. crassifolia were subjected to hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus for 5 h to yield 0.94% and 0.82% of yellowish oils, respectively.…”

The essential oils of Nepeta cataria L. and Nepeta crassifolia Boiss. & Buhse (Labiatae) were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed using GC and GC/MS. The major components of N. cataria oil were 4a-α,7-α,7a-β-nepetalactone (28.8%), 1,8-cineole (13.5%), 4a-α, 7-β, 7a-α-nepetalactone (11.9%), (E)-caryophyllene (5.7%) and citronellyl acetate (5.2%). The major compounds of N. crassifolia oil were 4a-α,7-β, 7a-α-nepetalactone (81.1%) and 4a-α,7-α,7a-αnepetalactone (5.9%).

Essential oils from aerial parts of Nepeta cephalotes Boiss., N. bornmuelleri Hausskn. ex Bornm., N. mirzayanii Rech. f. et Esfand. and N. bracteata Benth. were obtained by hydrodistillation. The oils were analyzed by capillary gas chromatography, using flame ionization and mass spectrometric detection. Eight components were identified in the oil of N. cephalotes with 4aα,7α,7aα-nepetalactone (90.1%) and β-pinene (7.5%) as main constituents. Twenty-eight compounds were identified in the oil of N. bornmuelleri with 4aβ,7α,7aβ-nepetalactone (64.0%) and 1,8-cineole (7.1%) as main components. Twenty-two compounds were characterized in the oil of N. mirzayanii with 4aα,7α,7aα-nepetalactone (61.0%) and caryophyllene oxide (7.8%) as main constituents. Twenty-eight compounds were characterized in the oil of N. bracteata with spathulenol (14.0%), caryophyllene oxide (12.3%), bicyclogermacrene (11.4%) and β-caryophyllene (11.2%) as main constituents. The results showed the nepetalactone isomers were the main components of the oils of N. cephalotes, N. bornmuelleri and N. mirzayanii. The oil of N. bracteata consisted of mainly of sesquiterpenes, while nepetalactone was not detected in this oil.

“…Among the constituents of the volatile oil, 4aα,7α,7aα-nepetalactone (87.1%), 4aα,7α,7aβ-nepetalactone (3.1%), β-caryophyllene (2.5%), and β-pinene (1.7%) were the major ones; the other constituents were present in relatively small amounts, representing only (3.6%) of the total oil. Nepetalactone isomers, which are the major constituens in our oil, were present in the essential oil of several Nepeta spp [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. It was found that nepetalactones were responsible for the feline attractant properties of Nepeta species.…”

Volatile constituents analysis of Nepeta cataria from central Iran

The genus Nepeta (Lamiaceae) comprises 250 species of perennial herbs that are distributed in Europe, Asia, North Africa, and the mountains of tropical Africa. These plants are commonly known as catmint [1]. The common Persian name of this genus is pune-sa, and about 67 species are recorded in Iran [2]. Many Nepeta species have some biological activity and are used in folk medicine because of their antispasmodic, diuretic, antiseptic, antitussive, antiasthmatic, and febrifuge activities [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Nepeta cataria L. (Lamiaceae) is one of the endemic species of this genus in Iran. N. cataria, commonly known as catnip, is native to Asia Minor and Southeast Europe and grows to a height of 90 cm. It is used as a fortifier, a disinfectant, and a cure against cold [1,9]. Literature surveys reveal that most oils of Nepeta species such as N. cataria contain nepetalactones as the main component. Antibacterial, fungicidal, and antiviral activities have been attributed to nepetalactones [3, 6, 10]. According to our finding, there is no report on the chemical composition of the essential oil of N. cataria growing in central Iran, so the aim of the present research was to determine the chemical composition of N. cataria essential oil. The constituents of the volatile oil were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The components of the oil of air-dried herbal parts of N. cataria are listed Table 1, including percentages and retention indices of the components. Constituents are listed in order of their elution from an HP-5MS column. As is shown, nine compounds were identified in the oil of N. cataria, making up 98.0% of the total oil. Among the constituents of the volatile oil, 4aα,7α,7aα-nepetalactone (87.1%), 4aα,7α,7aβ-nepetalactone (3.1%), β-caryophyllene (2.5%), and β-pinene (1.7%) were the major ones; the other constituents were present in relatively small amounts, representing only (3.6%) of the total oil. Nepetalactone isomers, which are the major constituens in our oil, were present in the essential oil of several Nepeta spp [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. It was found that nepetalactones were responsible for the feline attractant properties of Nepeta species. 4aα,7α,7aα-Nepetalactone, which was the main component of our oil, has been detected as the major one in four Nepeta species growing in Turkey [21] and also in N. cataria growing in Germany [22], while caryophyllene oxide, which was abundant in N. cataria from Lebanon [23] and Lithuania [24] (6.4%, 7.3% respectively), was not found in our work. β-Caryophyllene, which was the third major component of our oil, has been reported in the oil of some Nepeta species such as N. cataria [23], N. daenensis [25], and N. fissa from Iran [26], and in N. curviflora growing in Lebanon [23]. On the other hand, 1,8-cineole, which was the most abundant component in many Nepeta species [4, 27-30], was not present in our work. Also, linalool and germacrene D have been identified in sizable amounts in other Nepeta spec...
