Terminalia chebula, traditionally regarded as universal panacea, is known for its pleiotropic effects, including the effects on oxidative stress, malignant tumor growth, wound healing, and insulin sensitivity in Type 2 diabetes. In India and Southeast Asia the fruit is used as a popular folk medicine for antitussive, diuretic, homeostatic, laxative and cardiotonic treatments. In the fruits of T. chebula three hydrolyzable tannins chebulinic acid, chebulagic acid and 1, 3, 6-tri-O-galloylß- D-glucose could be determined by RP-HPLC. The contents of the first two substances were interrelated with the varieties. Experimental studies presented by different article show important action of substance present in fruit pulp Terminalia chebula, Antibacterial activity Test showed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity with an inhibition zone size of 11 to 27 mm, against all the test bacteria. There was a synergistic action of the crude extracts with broad spectrum antibiotic like tetracycline and other pulp extract also act on viral disease In vitro they may inhibited the replication of human cytomegalovirus growth. Antioxidant activity of T. chebula fruit pulp well established, The aqueous extract of T. chebula fruit pulp was tested for its cytoprotective activity. Show, the cultured rat primary hepatocytes and rat whole livers the extract reversed an oxidative injury; caused by tert-butyl hydroperoxide and lactate dehydrogenase leakage significantly. Pharmacological effects, includes against anaphylactic shock, Antispasmodic activity, Gastrointestinal activity, Cardiotonic activity etc.
