Abstract
In the present study three steroidal compounds, Stigmasterol, Cholesterol and Stigmasterol glucoside were isolated from the acetone extract of plant Tribulus terrestris L. with the help of column chromatography and TLC techniques. The isolated steroidal compounds were characterized using both proton and carbon-13 NMR.Zygophyllaceae
