“…Indeed, essential oils have a lipophilic nature and high affinity for cell membranes. In this way, they could result in manifest changes in the polarization of cancer cell and particularly mitochondrial membranes along with ionic channels and disturbing membrane potential, thereby inhibiting proton pumps and ATP production (Lesgards et al, 2014;Frolova, et al, 2019). It was also reported that essential oils could disrupt the membrane ionic pumps and lead to ion (calcium) and membrane proteins leakage…”

In this study, chemical composition (gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy), chemical structure (fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) and antioxidant potential (β-carotene bleaching assay and DPPH/ABTS-radical scavenging activity tests) of Syzygium aromaticum essential oil (SAEO) were evaluated. Eugenol (75.11%) was found to be the major compound of SAEO. Eugenol, as the main chemical constituent of SAEO, showed its signature peaks in the wavenumber range of 720 – 1250 cm-1, ascribing to the C=C region. The antimicrobial activity of SAEO on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria innocua and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were evaluated. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was then applied to unravel the antibacterial mechanism of SAEO on E. coli as the most resistant strain and L. innocua as the most sensitive strain. The MTT assay was also used to investigate the cytotoxicity effect of SAEO on human colonic cancer cell lines (HT29 cell line) and the highest cytotoxic effect was observed at 200 mg.mL-1 concentration of SAEO. The SEM micrographs revealed that the SAEO treatment was able to manifestly increase the cell permeabilization and membrane integrity disruption. This means that the entirety of the cell membranes was remarkably affected by the essential oil, which could lead to cytoplasm secretion and subsequent cell death. The data strongly suggest that SAEO had a potential antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxicity activity.

“…Nepeta cataria L., commonly known as catnip, is popular in the pet-toy industry, due to its effects on felines induced by the nepetalactones compounds. Besides this common use, Nepeta essential oil has multiple benefits in the treatment of fever, insomnia, and inflammation; it has sedative effect, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties; and it can be used as a bioherbicide, insect repellant, preventive method for vector-borne diseases, growth inhibition and apoptosis of some cancer cells, and so on [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Due to such properties, the essential oil demands have increased in the past years in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industry, making them valuable products.…”

The Impact of Salinity Stress on Antioxidant Response and Bioactive Compounds of Nepeta cataria L.

In this study, the ability of Nepeta cataria L. to grow and synthesize bioactive compounds on soil treated with different salt concentrations was tested to evaluate the opportunity of cultivating it in soils affected by salinization. N. cataria L. was grown in soil containing specific amounts of NaCl, Na2SO4, and their mixture. After harvesting, the plants were analyzed from the morphological and physiological point of view. Salinity stress inhibited the growth, with the highest decrease of the plant yield up to about 70% in the case of salt mixture, and smaller values for the separate salt treatments. In the same time, as a defense mechanism, there was an increase of granular trichomes’ density, as observed with the scanning electron microscope. For mild concentrations of salt, the amount of chlorophyll pigments was enhanced, while for stronger salinity stress, it decreased. The opposite behavior was evidenced for the polyphenol content, as antioxidant activity was used as a protective mechanism against reactive oxygen species produced under salinity stress. The antioxidant activity was considerably higher for separate NaCl and Na2SO4 treatments than for the salt mixture variants. The results showed that the species Nepeta cataria L. reacts well to high salinity levels, with an increased content of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity even for the highest studied salinity conditions.

“…Essential oil of N. cataria is a colorless, mobile liquid with a pleasant herb-citrus aroma with tones of geraniums [75][76][77][78][79][80][81] . The main essential oil constituents of catmint were nepetalactones, geraniol and α-pinene, while nerol, citronellal, neral and caryophyllene oxide were the main constituents of lemon catnip 52,82 . Nepetalactones are a specific type of monoterpene known as iridoids.…”

Plant preparations are said to be medicinal or herbal when they are used to promote health beyond basic nutrition. It is indeed quite interesting to observe that our ancients were duly equipped with the vast, in depth and elaborated knowledge of drugs from the vegetable origin but unfortunately they possessed a scanty knowledge with regard to the presence of chemically pure compounds in most of them. The genus Nepeta L. (catmint), a large genus of the family Lamiaceae, is named after the ancient Italian City of Nephi It is also known as Glechoma and Cataria and it contains about 280 annual and perennial species, the majority of which are aromatic plants native to temperate Europe, Asia, North Africa, and North America. The wide variety and high content of terpenoid, flavonoid and phenolic compounds of Nepeta species provide diverse pharmacological effects, justifying its traditional utilization for medicinal purposes. Nepeta cataria (catnip or catmint, N. cataria), an aromatic perennial herb, belongs to genus Nepeta of Lamiaceae family and has been well known for its medicinal and therapeutic values. The name Cataria has been originated from Cathus, an old Latin word, which mean of cats. Like other aromatic plants which have showed flavoring and medicinal properties and act as renewable source for the same, N. cataria has also been known for its essential oil and secondary metabolites, which showed tremendous applications in pharmaceutical, agrochemical and food industries. It was shown by the different research groups that the essential oil and different extracts isolated from N. cataria have been a rich source of nepetalactones and related compounds (iridoids), which have been mainly responsible for different biological activities of the plant, viz. cat attractant, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic activities, as well as sedative, antidepressant, spasmolytic, anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities. Experiments show that this plant influences sexual activity, and expresses anticancer properties. Antimicrobial activity against a number of bacteria is also noted, as well as repellent and insecticidal properties. Nematodidal and allelopathic effects are also noted. This review emphasizes on latest information regarding the botany, distribution, cultivation taxonomy, traditional uses and more focused on phytochemistry, pharmacology.
