In search for low-cost, safe and environmentally benign plant-based alternatives to commercial pesticides, the efficacy of Lippia javanica aqueous leaf extracts in controlling ticks on cattle, acute oral toxicity in mice and phytochemistry were evaluated. L. javanica aqueous leaf extracts at 10% and 20% w/v were effective at controlling cattle ticks but not as good as an amitraz-based acaricide Tickbuster®. However, they can provide an effective tick control option where synthetic products are unavailable or unaffordable, particularly in remote parts of southern Africa. Peripheral blood samples collected showed no haemoparasites in treated cattle implying that animals did not suffer from clinical tick-borne diseases. The leaf aqueous extracts of L. javanica were tested for toxicity in BALB/c mice. While anecdotal evidence suggests L. javanica has low mammalian toxicity, within 48 h all mice fed with the L. javanica leaf aqueous extract at 12.5-37.5% v/v were lethargic, and overall mortality was 37.5% (n=24). Thus, despite their apparent safety, water extracts of L. javanica leaves may have deleterious health implications on humans and animals if consumed at very high doses. Many compounds have been identified from L. javanica including an array of phenolic glycosides, flavonoids and essential oils but none of these are known to have acute toxic properties.

“…However, the medicinal value of this genus is due to the presence of essential oils and flavonoids (Jamzad et al, 2003), which have potential roles in the treatment of human diseases. Some Nepeta species contain cyclopentanoid iridoid derivatives such as monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and nepetalactones (McElvain et al, 1941;Javidnia et al, 2005;Letchamo et al, 2005).…”

“…The external flavonoids were used to determine phylogenetic relationships in Nepeta at species and generic levels (Jamzad et al, 2003). Nepeta species were identified based on morphological markers (Bentham, 1832(Bentham, , 1848Briquet, 1896).…”

“…However, the study based on these markers, which are very variable and do not reflect phylogenetic relationships among the species, and some ambiguities among these classifications are mainly the consequence of the paucity of reliable morphological characteristics. Because of the difficulty of using classical morphological and anatomical characteristics to establish relationships among the species of Nepeta, chemical and molecular characteristics were investigated to assess their potential value in phylogeny reconstruction (Jamzad, 2001).…”

ABSTRACT. Molecular markers, mainly DNA-based are potential tools for DNA barcoding and phylogenetic study. The plant species belonging to the Nepeta genus have important medicinal value because of the presence of nepetalactones, and they have been used to treat human diseases. We amplified nuclear and chloroplast gene loci to develop a DNA barcode and phylogenetic study of Nepeta deflersiana. Among the studied loci, psbA-trnH and rps16 showed less identity within the genus than the other loci using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool of the National Center for Biotechnology Information GenBank database. These loci can be used for the development of a DNA barcode to identify and preserve the identity of this species. We also constructed the phylogram of N. deflersiana and other Nepeta species retrieved from the GenBank database (nonredundant DNA-internal transcribed spacer). N. deflersiana was placed in the same clade as N. insaurica with a 99% bootstrap value.
