Overview

Chemosystematic analysis identifies elite sources of Tribulus terrestris, highlighting implications for herbal quality and cultivation.

Key Points

  • The research aims to investigate the pharmacologically active metabolites of Tribulus terrestris and identify elite plant sources.
  • Conducted a chemosystematic investigation of 14 wild populations from Rajasthan.
  • Quantified steroidal saponins using validated high-performance thin layer chromatography.
  • Assessed intra-specific physico-phytochemical variation and antioxidant activity.
  • Performed cluster analysis to identify elite sources and chemotaxonomic markers.
  • Identified significant differences in phytochemicals between populations related to their antioxidant activity.
  • Quantified tribulosin and diosgenin concentrations, finding ranges of 0.028% to 0.158% and 0.002% to 0.028% respectively.
  • Cluster analysis revealed elite sources that could serve as quality raw materials for herbal formulations.
