Abstract
The present study comprises screening of some phytochemical compounds and antioxidant activity in ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Tribulus terrestris. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids, alkaloids, tannins, glycosides, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, saponins and phenols. The antioxidant activity using hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging assay showed that IC50 of ethanolic and aqueous extracts were 21.73μg/ml and 36.36μg/ml, respectively.
