Chemical Structure
4aα,7α,7aα-Nepetalactone
- CAS No.: 21651-62-7
- Formula:C10H14O2
- Molecular Weight:166.22
IUPAC Name: (4aS,7S,7aR)-4,7-dimethyl-5,6,7,7a-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyran-1(4aH)-one
InChIKey: ZDKZHVNKFOXMND-NBEYISGCSA-N
SMILES: CC([C@]1([H])[C@@]2([H])[C@H](CC1)C)=COC2=O
Biological Activity: 4aα,7α,7aα-Nepetalactone is an iridoid compound, a TRPA1 agonist, a repellent, and an attractant. 4aα,7α,7aα-Nepetalactone can be isolated from the oil of N. crispa. 4aα,7α,7aα-Nepetalactone induces repellent responses in three sap-sucking pests (Chinese psyllid, Asian citrus psyllid, and western flower thrips) via PKCα. Nepetalactone attracts two predatory lady beetles (Harmonia axyridis and Propylea japonica) through CaMKII. 4aα,7α,7aα-Nepetalactone causes mortality in Pogonomyrmex sp. ants. 4aα,7α,7aα-Nepetalactone can be used in studies related to bacterial infections and mandibulate pest infestations[1][2][3].
