Tribulus terrestris has been used in traditional medicine as releiving reuhmatic pain <strong>and</strong><br />

analgesic plant from long ago. Extraction of the fruits of plant was done by two different<br />

methods(suxheletion <strong>and</strong> perculation) with methanol 80%. The perculated extract with<br />

different doses 50, 100, 200, 400 <strong>and</strong> 800 mg/Kg were injected intaperitoneally to mice. The<br />

analgesic effects of the methanolic extract of this plant were evaluated by formalin <strong>and</strong> tailflick<br />

test in male albino mice. Ulcerogenicity test was done by Azuumi method using J Score.<br />

The dose of 100 mg/kg perculated extract had the highest analgesic effect in Formalin <strong>and</strong><br />

Tail-flick test. The ulcerogenicity of plant extract is lower than the indomethacin. The extracts<br />

have had less pathologic effect in rat,s stomach.<br />
