Abstract
The seeds of the medicinal plant evening primrose (Oenothera biennis L.), having the invasive status in Belarus, are a source of pharmacologically valuable oil with a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), including γ-linolenic acid. For the first time, the authors established that oil from O. biennis seeds collected in various regions of the republic is not inferior in quality to world analogues, is balanced in the composition of PUFA, and is characterized by a pronounced hypolipidemic and immunomodulatory effect. It is assumed that strategies developed to use this species as the basis for various purpose import-substituting phytopreparations will help limit its expansion in Belarus
