Abstract

Chemical composition of the essential oil of the aerial parts of Nepeta prostrata Benth. was analyzed by GC-MS for the first time. The oil was found to contain thirty (98.8@ of the total oil composition) components. Spathulenol (36.5 @), terpinen-4-ol (13.3 @), 1,8-cineole (8.8 @), myrtenal (6.1 @), cis-sabinene hydrate (5.9 @), cis-sabinol (5.5 @) and λ-terpinene (4.5 @) were found to be the major constituents of the oil. Nepetalactones were not detected in the oil of N. prostrata. © 2012, Copyright Har Krishan Bhalla & Sons.
