Tribulus and testosterone
The following study was done on a different species of tribulus, but the
findings are interesting.
Free serum testosterone level in male rats treated
with Tribulus alatus extracts.
Int Braz J Urol. 2007 Jul-Aug;33(4):554-9. El-Tantawy WH, Temraz A, El-Gindi
OD. Drug Bioavailability Center, National Organization For Drug Control and
Research, Cairo, Egypt.
The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of Tribulus alatus
extracts on free serum testosterone in male rats: Free serum testosterone level
was measured in male rats treated with alcoholic extracts of the aerial part
without fruits, fruits of Tribulus alatus and their fractions. All tested
extracts showed significant increase in the level of free serum testosterone
when compared to that of corresponding control. Tribulus alatus extract appears
to possess aphrodisiac activity due to its androgen increasing property.
Saponins in Tribulus Terestris
Terrestrinins A and B, two new steroid saponins from
Tribulus terrestris.
J Asian Nat Prod Res. 2003 Dec;5(4):285-90. State Key Laboratory of Drug
Research, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of
Sciences, 294 Taiyuan Road, Shanghai 200031, People's Republic of China.
Two new steroid saponins, named terrestrinins A (1) and B (2), along with six
known compounds were isolated from the Chinese medicine herb Tribulus terrestris,
and their chemical structures were elucidated as
26-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(25S)-furostan-4(5),20(22)-diene-3,12-dione (1) and
26-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(25S)-5alpha-furostane-3beta,22alpha,26-triol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1
--> 3)-[(beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1 --> 2)]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl(1 -->
4)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1 --> 2)]-beta-D-galactopyranoside (2) on the basis
of spectroscopic techniques.
Tribulus terestris and Helminth Parasite
Infection
Tribulosin and beta-sitosterol-D-glucoside, the anthelmintic principles of
Tribulus terrestris.
Phytomedicine. 2002 Dec;9(8):753-6. Phytochemistry Laboratory, R&D Centre,
Natural Remedies Pvt. Ltd., Veerasandra Indl. Area, Bangalore, India.
Successive extracts of Tribulus terrestris prepared using petroleum ether,
chloroform, 50% methanol and water were tested for anthelmintic activity
in-vitro using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The activity could be
detected only in 50% methanol extract which on further bioactivity guided
fractionation and chromatographic separation yielded a spirostanol type saponin,
tribulosin and beta-sitosterol-D-glucoside. Both the compounds exhibited
anthelmintic activity with ED50 of 76.25 and 82.50 microg/ml respectively.
Tribulus Terrestris and Melanocytes
[Effect of Tribulus terrestris L decoction of different concentrations on
tyrosinase activity and the proliferation of melanocytes]
Di Yi Jun Yi Da Xue Xue Bao. 2002 Nov;22(11):1017-9. Department of
Traditional Chinese Medicine, First Military Medical University, Guangzhou
510515, China.
To study the effects of the decoction of Tribulus terrestris L on tyrosinase
activity and melanogenesis. METHODS: MTT was employed to study the proliferation
of human melanocytes cultured in vitro, and tyrosinase activity was estimated by
measuring the rate of oxidation of DL-dopa, after the cells were treated with
different concentrations of decoction of Tribulus terrestris L. RESULTS: The
treatment with the decoction increased the amount of melanin at higher
concentrations but act to the reverse effect at lower concentrations, with the
best concentrations for promoting and inhibiting the cell growth being 1.5 mg/ml
(P<0.05) and 0.5 mg/ml (P<0.05) respectively. At high concentrations the
decoction enhanced the tyrosinase activity that was inhibited at low
concentrations. The best concentrations for enhancing and inhibiting tyrosinase
activity were 100 mg/ml (P<0.05) and 10 mg/ml (P<0.05) respectively. CONCLUSION:
Tribulus terrestris L decoction exercises a two-way regulation on the activity
of tyrosinase and the proliferation of melanocytes.

in Chinese and Indian extracts. In Chinese and Indian Tribulus extracts,
claiming a content of 60% to 90% saponins, the actual content according to the
Bulgarian spectrophotometric assay, which we are using for standartization of
our products, is not more than 4-5%. Vasil Zlatev, VEMO 99 Ltd & VSV Ltd, Shumen
