Abstract :Nepeta species are widely used in folk medicine as a diaphoretic, diuretic, antiseptic, astringent, anti-asthmatic, cough suppressant, antispasmodic, antipyretic, sedative and stomachic. This study was designed to examine the chemical composition of the essential oil of Nepeta isaurica and Nepeta sulfuriflora. It was determined that the aerial parts of the N. isaurica plant contained 0.72% essential oil, 37 compounds were identified representing 98.86% of the total oil analyzed via GC-MS. The major components of the essential oil obtained from these plants were trans-pinocarveol, α-pinene, linalool, 1,8-cineole, α-terpineol, α-cadinol, spathulenol and β-pinene. It was determined that the aerial parts of N. sulfuriflora contained 0.64% essential oil. GC-MS analysis identified 37 compounds representing 99.07% of the total oil. It has been determined that the main component of the essential oil in N. sulfuriflora is 1,8-cineol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(72.05%);. As a result of the study, it was concluded that N. sulfuriflora could be used as a 1,8-cineol reservoir.
