We consider a pure 3-qubits system interacting through a XY-Hamiltonian with antiferromagnetic constant J. We employ the 3-tangle as an efficient measure of the entanglement between such a 3-qubit system. The time evolution of such a 3-tangle is studied. In order to do the above, the 3-tangle associated to the pure 3-qubit state $|\psi \left(t\right)⟩=c_0\left(t\right)|000⟩+c_1\left(t\right)|001⟩+c_2\left(t\right)|010⟩+c_3\left(t\right)|011⟩+c_4\left(t\right)|100⟩+c_5\left(t\right)|101⟩+c_6\left(t\right)|110⟩+c_7\left(t\right)|111⟩$ is calculated as a function of the initial coefficients $\left\{c_i\left(t=0\right)\right\}\left(i=\mathrm{0,1},\dots ,7\right)$, the time t and the antiferromagnetic constant J. We find that the 3-tangle of the 3-qubit system is periodic with period $t=4\pi /J$. Furthermore, we also find that the 3-tangle as a function of the time t and J has maximal and minimum values. The maximal values of the 3-tangle can be employed in Quantum Information Protocols (QIP) that use entanglement as a basic resource. The pattern found for the 3-tangle of the system of three qubits interacting through a XY Hamiltonian as a function of J and the time t resembles to a quantized physical quantity.
