Stability study of Nepeta cataria iridoids analyzed by LC/MS
Preclinical
Abstract
The long-term stability of the bioactive iridoids (nepetalactones, nepetalic acid, dihydronepetalactone) of catnip (Nepeta cataria) was measured over two years under different storage conditions by UHPLC-MS, identifying degradative byproducts and showing that protecting catnip products from light is necessary to preserve nepetalactone content.
