'''''Tribulus terrestris''''' L. (family Zygophyllaceae), commonly known as '''Gokshura''', is an annual Mediterranean-climate herb widely utilized in traditional Ayurvedic and Asian medicine systems. The therapeutic profile of Gokshura is driven by its bioactive constituents, predominantly steroidal saponins (furostanol and spirostanol glycosides), flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin derivatives), and trace alkaloids. Protodioscin, a primary furostanol saponin, serves as the principal biomarker for standardizing pharmaceutical extracts. | '''''Tribulus terrestris''''' L.
