Abstract

Tribulus terrestris (Linn) of Zygophyllaceae family commonly known as Goksura is used in Ayurvedic system of medicine. It is distributed through out tropical and warm temperate regions of the world. Commonly it is known as Caltrops, Puncture vine. The Fruits of Goksura are considered as Diuretic, Aphrodisiac; used in Urolithiasis, Sexual dysfunctions and Infertility. As the powder is not palatable, its form has been converted in to granules form and attempts were made to evaluate its physico chemical profile. Pharmacognostically authenticated Tribulus terrestris was used for the preparation of granules and it was analyzed through qualitative and quantitative analysis of Physico - chemical parameters. Fingerprints of Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and High-Performance Thin Layer chromatography study (HPTLC) were also developed.
