Epinepetalactone
Cis-trans-nepetalactone is a cyclopentapyran that is (4aS,7aR)-1,4a,5,6,7,7a-hexahydrocyclopenta[c]pyran substituted at position 1 by an oxo group and at positions 4 and 7 by methyl groups, respectively (the 4aS,7S,7aR-diastereomer). An iridoid monoterpenoid isolated from several Nepeta plant species. It is an aphid sex pheromone and cat attractant, and exhibits antibacterial, antifungal, and analgesic properties. It has a role as a pheromone, a plant metabolite, an insect attractant, an analgesic, an insect repellent, an antibacterial agent and an antifungal agent. It is an iridoid monoterpenoid and a cyclopentapyran. Nepetalactone cis-trans-form is a natural product found in Nepeta cataria, Nepeta tuberosa, and Nepeta racemosa with data available. (5S,8S,9R)-Nepetalactone is found in herbs and spices. (5S,8S,9R)-Nepetalactone is a constituent of catnip from the catmint plant Nepeta cataria Constituent of catnip from the catmint plant Nepeta cataria. (5S,8S,9R)-Nepetalactone is found in tea and herbs and spices. 4aα,7α,7aα-Nepetalactone exhibits antibacterial activity, and inhibits Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Enterococcus faecalis.
