Interpretive Summary: The essential oil present in the aerial parts of the plant Nepeta manchuriensis was prepared by steam distillation using clevenger apparatus. The chemical composition of the oil was studied by GCMS. Sabinene, elemol, selinene, 4-terpineol, menthatriene and neoisothujol are the major components and represent 75% of the oil. The antimicrobial, antimalarial, and antileishmanial activities of the oil were determined.
