KEY WORDS: Chebulinic acid, Terminalia chebula, Dimocarpus longan, Phyllanthus emblica, Anticancer activity, HPLC, Astringency.

INTRODUCTION Chebulinic acid is a phenolic compound [1,2] commonly found in the fruits of Terminalia chebula, leaves and fruits of Phyllanthus emblica and seeds of Dimocarpus longan species, which has many potential uses in medicine. It is also found in the leaves of Dendrophthoe falcata, Lumnttzera racemosa, Terminalia macroptera species. It is a Faint yellowish crystalline powder and sparingly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, methanol and ethyl acetate. It shows several pharmacological activities presented below. Terminalia chebula is extensively used in unani, ayurveda and homeopathic medicine. This is used in traditional medicine due to the wide spectrum of pharmacological activities associated with the

Phyllanthus emblica is one of the best rejuvenating herbs in the ayurveda, an Indian traditional medicinal system. Traditionally, the fruit is useful as an astringent, cardiac tonic, diuretic, laxative, liver tonic, stomachic, and digestive medicine. It shows antioxidant activiry[7], antitumor activity, anti-inflammatory activity [8], antimicrobial activity [9], cytoprotective activity etc. The fruit of amla contain a wide variety of compounds such as tannins, phyllembelic acid, phyllemblin, vitamin C, chebulinic acid, , alkaloids, flavonoids etc.

These medicinal herbs are used in soxhlet extractor [11], column chromatography [12] and high pressure liquid chromatography for chebulinic acid extraction [13]. Dendrophthoe falcate, Terminalia macroptera and Lumnttzera racemosa species are also medicinal plants. These are contains various chemical constituents especially chebulinic acid present in leaves. These plants show different pharmacological activities like Antibiofilm activity [14], Antioxidant, Antinociceptive activity [15], In vitro anti Neisseria gonorrhoeae activity [16], DPPH radical scavenging and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity [17] and Antihypertensive etc.

Molecular formula: C41H32O27 Molecular weight: 956.67 g/mol. Characteristics: Faint yellowish crystalline powder. Solubility: Sparingly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, methanol and ethyl acetate. Density: 2.04g/cm3 Boiling Point: 1460°Cat760mmHg

USES Chebulinic acid was helps to remove toxins and unwanted fat from the body, improves skin glow and complexion also. It showed many pharmacological activities including inhibition of cancer cell growth like human leukemia K562 cells [18], colon adenocarcinoma HT-29 cell lines [19], anti-neisseria gonorrhoeae activity, inhibiting the contractile responses of cardiovascular muscles, anti-hypertensive [20], anti-oxidant, anti-bacterial activities etc. The dried fruits of Terminalia chebula is used to produced the dye. The appearance of dye powder is brown and the main colouring component is chebulinic acid and this fruit contains an astringent matter. The astringency is because of the characteristic principle of chebulinic acid.
