SUMMARY In experiments on golden male hamsters, the anti-opisthorchiasis activity (against Opisthorchis
felineus) of extracts obtained from Centaurea scabiosa L., Centaurea pseudomaculosa Dobrocz., Centaurea jaceae L. and Centaurea phrygia L. of the Asteraceae family was studied. The presence of anti-opisthorchiasis activity was confirmed in the sesquiterpene lactone of the guaian type,
cinaropicrin, isolated from Centaurea scabiosa L. It was suggested that the sesquiterpene lactones
grosshemin and repin have anti-opisthorchiasis activity.
