Abstract: In the present study, the ability of scavenging free radicals of the Methanol, Chloroform and Ethyl acetate of Tribulus terrestris (Tt) seed. Tribulus terrestris was determined by using 1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2, 2’-Azinobis-(3-Ethylbenzothiazoline-6-Sulfonic Acid) (ABTS+), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), nitric oxide scavenging assay (NO), superoxide anion radical scavenging (SOD), hydroxyl radical scavenging assay (HRSA), Hydrogen peroxide radical assay (HPRA). The results showed that the Methanol seed extract of (Tt) has a significant antioxidant activity. Thus, the study suggests that (Tt) has a better source of natural antioxidants, which might be helpful in preventing the progress of oxidative stress.
