Overview

This study evaluates the diuretic and antibacterial effects of Tribulus terrestris in rodent models and in vitro, indicating its potential in treating renal disorders.

Key Points

  • Ethanol extract of Tribulus terrestris showed significant dose-dependent diuretic effects in rodent models, enhancing urine output dramatically.
  • At 450 mg/kg, urine output and sodium excretion increased significantly (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively), comparable to the diuretic furosemide.
  • In vitro testing revealed moderate antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, highlighting its potential therapeutic applications.
  • These findings suggest that Tribulus terrestris may provide a complementary approach for addressing renal disorders, meriting further clinical investigation.
