Malaria devastates sub-Saharan Africa; the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 212 million people contract malaria annually and that the plasmodium virus will kill 419 000 in 2017. The disease affects rural populations who have the least economic means to fight it. Impregnated mosquito nets have reduced the mortality rate but the Anopheles mosquitoes are changing their feeding patterns and have become more active at dusk and early morning rather than after 22h00 as an adaptation to the nets. Everyone is susceptible to the Anopheles at these times but infants and pregnant women are the most vulnerable to the disease. Plant-based mosquito repellents are as effective as synthetic repellents that protect people from bites. They are sustainable preventative measures against malaria not only because of their efficacy but because the local population can produce and distribute them, which represents a source of economic growth for rural areas. Here, we extract and test the essential oil nepetalactone from Nepeta cataria via steam distillation. Families in endemic areas of Burundi found them effective against bites but commented that the odor was pungent. An epidemiological study is required to establish its clinical efficacy.

“…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 are comprised of volatile, aromatic compounds, and will be less concentrated over time in plant matter. Because of reported variation in nepetalactone concentration in essential oil analysis of catnip (Ibrahim and El Din, 1999;Malizia et al, 1996;Pappas, 2001), oil content in each treatment could not be accurately calculated on the basis of the detected nepetalactone concentrations only in this experiment. Quality assurance specifications from a Midwest herb cooperative include a minimum 3 mg g −1 (oil content in leaves and flowers, but no standards for nepetalactone have been developed; FNP, 2000).…”

The Effect of Natural Mulches on Crop Performance, Weed Suppression and Biochemical Constituents of Catnip and St. John's Wort

et al. 2004

Because of expanding markets for high-value niche crops, opportunities have increased for the production of medicinal herbs in the USA. An experiment was conducted in 2001 and 2002 near Gilbert, IA, to study crop performance, weed suppression, and environmental conditions associated with the use of several organic mulches in the production of two herbs, catnip (Nepeta cataria L.) and St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum L. 'Helos'). Treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design and included a positive (hand-weeded) control, a negative (nonweeded) control, oat straw, a flax straw mat, and a nonwoven wool mat. Catnip plant height was significantly greater in the oat straw than the other treatments at 4 wk through 6 wk in 2001; at 4 to 8 wk in 2002, catnip plant height and width was significantly lower in the negative control compared with the other treatments. Catnip yield was significantly higher in the flax straw mat than all other treatments in 2001. In 2002, St. John's wort yields were not statistically different in any treatments. All weed management treatments had significantly fewer weeds than the non-weeded rows in 2002. Total weed density comparisons in each crop from 2 yr showed fewer weeds present in the flax straw and wool mat treatments compared with positive control plots. There was no significant weed management treatment effect on the concentration of the target compounds, nepetalactone in catnip and pseudohypericin-hypericin in St. John's wort, although there was a trend toward higher concentrations in the flax straw treatment.
