Abstract

The antiparasitic properties of the Saussurea salsa (Pall.) Spreng. extract and its cynaropicrin fraction have been studied on a model of opisthorchosis in golden hamsters. The tested substances produced a dose-dependent therapeutic effect comparable with that of the reference antihelminthic drug biltricide (praziquantel).
