Abstract

Nature is rich source of medicinal plants and herbal remedies but due to inadequacy of information about their chemical and therapeutic properties some of these sources are still remained unrevealed. Herbal drugs are the potential source of therapeutic aid for the treatment and prevention of various infections and diseases. Naturally occurring shrub Tribulus terrestris was collected from tribal area of Baglan Region (Nashik District). The extracts of plant parts such as leaves and fruits were prepared in water, acetone and chloroform. The detection of important phytochemicals of plant Tribulus terrestris was attempted. Each crude extract of leaves and fruit of plant Tribulus terrestris was comparatively analyzed for presence of phytoconstituents. Phytochemical analysis of crude extracts of Tribulus terrestris showed presence of carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, glycosides, tannins, terpenoids, phenols, alkaloids and saponins.
