Recently, catnip, Nepeta cataria L. (Lamiaceae), essential oil has been formulated and marketed as an alternative repellent for protection against biting arthropods by several vendors. We isolated the major active components of catnip oil, E,Z- and Z,E-nepetalactone, and quantitatively measured their antibiting efficacy compared with the repellents N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (deet) and chira...

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...

Abstract This study evaluated the biological fabrication and characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) using Nepeta cataria (NC) their anticancer activity against ovarian cancer cells (SKOV3). synthesized ZnONPs leaf extract N. through a method. The particles were characterized in several ways such as zeta potential, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrum, Fourier transform infrared ...
