“…Different studies have been conducted in other regions on the chemical composition of essential oils from different samples of N. cataria [5,6]. Although the comparison between compounds obtained from this study and other reports show several similarities, there are considerable quantitative and qualitative differences between the samples from different locations in Iran.…”

“…The composition varies from region to region, variety, analytical and extraction methods, climatic conditions and vegetation period. The main constituents so far identified, include caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, 1,8-cineol, citronellol, geraniol, elemol, nerol, nerolidol, spathulenol, elemene, geranyl acetate, citronellyl acetate and geranial [5,6]. Bacterial infections as well as microorganisms' resistance to antibiotics are well documented in both plants and humans.…”

In this study, chemical composition, antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Nepeta cataria L., a native plant that grows in Lorestan region of Iran, were studied. Chemical constituents of the essential oil were identified by means of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and the relative content of each constituent was determined by area normalization. Disc diffusion and broth microdilution assays were used for in vitro antimicrobial screening. Antioxidant activity was employed by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free-radical scavenging. The predominant bioactive ingredients with high percentage in N. Cataria essential oil was 4a-α, 7-α, 7a-β-Nepetalactone (53.87%). The essential oil's IC50 value of 80.62 μg / mL in the DPPH assay, could be regarded as its strong antioxidant potential. The antibacterial activities of the essential oil were screened and compared against dozen important human pathogens. The essential oil showed good antibacterial activity, especially on Salmonella spp.. The biggest diameters of inhibition zones (29 mm) was recorded for Salmonella typhi and Salmonella paratyphi A showed the lowest MIC (160 μg / mL).

“…It was documented that nepetalactones were the predominant components responsible for the feline attractant properties of many Nepeta species, such as N. persica, N. pogonosperma, N. racemosa, N. cataria, N. sibirica, N. nuda, N. grandifolia, N. clarkei, N. argolica and N. crassifolia. [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] For instance, 4aα,7α,7aβ-nepetalactone (28.8%) and 4aα, 7β,7aα-nepetalactone (11.9%) were reported the major components of Nepeta cataria essential oil.

Essential oils from the aerial parts of three populations of Nepeta crassifolia (Lamiaceae), which are Iranian endemic species and four populations of N. nuda grown in northwestern Iran were obtained by hydro-distillation and examined by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC/ MS). Overall, 37 compounds were identified in the essential oils from different populations of N. crassifolia and N. nuda. The essential oils consisted mainly of oxygenated monoterpenes and sesquiterpene aldehydes. The major components in the oils of three populations of N. crassifolia were 4aβ, 7α, 7aβ-nepetalactone (16.46-27.45%), 4aα, 7α, 7aβ-nepetalactone (13.45-17.54%), 1,8-cineole (8.15-9.70%) and elemol (14.38-22.14%), while 7aβ-nepetalactone (61-72.21%), 4aα, 7α, 7aβ-nepetalactone (8.72-12.63%), pulegone (7.36%) and piperitenone oxide (4.12%) were identified as the main constituents in the oils of four populations of N. nuda. The essential oils from the aerial parts of two species of Nepeta sourced in northwestern Iran were rich in oxygenated monoterpenes. In conclusion, the present study indicated the essential oil components of wild populations of both Nepeta species varied with chemotypes, environmental conditions, and geographic origin.

“…Another study of N. crassifolia afforded cirsimaritin and 8‐hydroxycirsimaritin (Jamzad et al , ). The essential oil of the aerial parts of N. crassifolia has been previously studied and showed 4aα,7α,7aα‐nepetalactone, linalyl acetate, piperitone, germacrene D, 4aβ,7α,7aβ‐nepetalactone and β‐caryophyllene as main constituents (Dabiri and Sefidkon, ; Morteza‐Semnani and Saeedi, ).…”

This article reports phytochemical and biological studies on Nepeta binaludensis and Nepeta crassifolia. Both species were investigated for their angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity and antioxidant properties through three in vitro models [2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay]. Aerial parts were extracted with methanol and partitioned between water and subsequently n-hexane, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. N. binaludensis methanol extract exerted significantly higher reducing power (1.9 μM Fe(II)/g) than did the positive control butylhydroxytoluene (63.2 μM Fe(II)/g) in FRAP assay. The highest DPPH radical scavenging activity was found for N. crassifolia, with IC50 values of 9.6 and 12.1 µg/mL for ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions, respectively. n-Butanol fraction of both species showed the highest ACE inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 59.3 and 81.7 µg/mL for N. binaludensis and N. crassifolia, respectively. Phytochemical investigations resulted in the isolation of ursolic acid, oleanolic acid, apigenin, luteolin and ixoroside. Apigenin-7-O-glucoside, 8-hydroxycirsimaritin and cirsimaritin were furthermore identified in N. crassifolia ethyl acetate-soluble fraction. Nepetanudoside B was isolated from the n-butanol fraction of N. binaludensis.
