Description
The present research work the systematic valuation of Tribulus terrestris for its medical
efficacy. The aim of this study is to evaluate secondary metabolites phytoconstituents of seed
powder of Tribulus terrestris qualitatively as well as quantitatively. Phytochemical screening
of seed extract of Tribulus terrestris carried out with aqueous solvent. Phytochemical
screening revealed the presence of phenol, Saponin, glycosides, carbohydrate, Flavonoid,
alkaloids, protein and tannin. The quantitative studies revealed that seed of Tribulus terrestris
possessed Alkaloids, Tannin, Saponin, cardiac glycoside and Flavonoid value was found to
be 39.6%, 30.4%, 0.19%, 25.9%, and 32.1% respectively. The high level of primary
metabolites in the sample reveals its nutritive value. These secondary metabolites could be
responsible for the observed medicinal properties of Tribulus terrestris by traditional
herbalists.
