The antimicrobial activities of ( Z,E)- and E,Z)-nepetalactones, 2 major compositional compounds from the essential oil catnip Nepeta cataria), were first discovered fly larval development media studies with over 98% inhibition bacterial growth. Further investigation demonstrated growth various species public health significance. Catnip showed antibacterial activity against 5 Gram-positive 9 Gr...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity potential of aqueous extracts of Nepeta cataria, Fumaria indica, Borago officinalis, Adiantum capillus, Levandula stoeches on HeLa cell line. Leaves of plants were washed with distilled water, dried in shade, grinded to fine powder and stored in airtight container at room temperature in the dark until used. The powdered samples were s...

The genus Nepeta exhibits a wide spectrum of biological activity in medicine, agriculture, and the food industry. purpose research is to develop optimal agricultural technology for plantation cultivation cataria L. with preservation useful properties increase content essential oil conditions Northern Kazakhstan. objects are annual plants N. growing on Akmola region. It has been reliably proven ...

In this study, the ability of Nepeta cataria L. to grow and synthesize bioactive compounds on soil treated with different salt concentrations was tested evaluate opportunity cultivating it in soils affected by salinization. N. grown containing specific amounts NaCl, Na2SO4, their mixture. After harvesting, plants were analyzed from morphological physiological point view. Salinity stress inhibit...

essential oils are volatile mixtures of hydrocarbons with diverse functional groups. in the current study the effect of essential oils from five medicinal plants including zataria multiflora and nepeta cataria (lamiaceae), tagetes minuta and artemisia sieberi (asteraceae), and trachyspermum ammi (apiaceae) were analyzed using gc-mass spectrometry. the toxicity of these plant essential oils agai...
