Abstract
Catnip (nepetalactone) is closely related chemically to certain cyclopentanoid monoterpenes recently isolated from insects, and it shares with some of these terpenes an ability to repel insects. It is suggested that the adaptive function of catnip is to protect the plants that produce it against phytophagous insects.
摘要
猫薄荷（荆芥内酯）在化学结构上与最近从昆虫中分离出的某些环戊烷类单萜密切相关，并且它与其中一些萜类化合物一样具有驱避昆虫的能力。有人认为猫薄荷的适应性功能是保护产生它的植物免受植食性昆虫的侵害。
