Abstract

Composition of the volatile oil of Nepeta ucraininca L. ssp. kopetdaghensis (Lamiaceae) was investigated by GLC and GC-MS. Forty-one compounds representing 89.5% of the total oil were characterized. The main components of the oil were germacrene-D (39.7%), palmitic acid (10.8%), β-bourbonene (5.8%) and spathulenol (5.6%). Nepetalact-one isomers were not present in the essential oil of N. ucrainica L. ssp. kopetdaghensis. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
