Chebulinic acid is polyphenol that has shown antihypertensive, and anti-oxidant properties. Its antihypertensive effects may be due to decreased cardiac output from reduced left ventricular contraction.

The aqueous extract of Terminalia chebular fruits was reported to have anti-hyperglycemia and anti-diabetic complication effects. The present study therefore investigated the protective mechanism of chebulic acid, a phenolcarboxylic acid compound isolated from the ripe fruits of Terminalia chebula against
Tellimagrandin I and chebulinic acid, two hydrolysable tannins, have been shown to exert anti-tumor properties. Dysfunctional gap junctional communication (GJIC) has been recognized as being involved in carcinogenesis. The human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells have been reported to be deficient

The effects of two polyphenols, chebulinic acid and tellimagrandin I, on DNA strand breaks mediated by H(2)O(2)/Cu(II), hydroquinone (HQ)/Cu(II) and H(2)O(2)/Fe(II) in pBR322 plasmid DNA and genomic DNA of cultured MRC-5 human embryo lung fibroblasts were examined. The results demonstrated

1. The effects of chebulinic acid, which has been shown to elicit blood pressure lowering effect in rats, on aortic vascular contraction as well as cardiac contraction were studied in rats. 2. Chebulinic acid had no effect on KCl-induced aortic
We used the agar dilution method to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Terminalia macroptera leaf (Tml) extract against nine reference and clinical Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains, including penicillin- and tetracycline-resistant and -susceptible strains. Tml possesses anti-N. gonorrhoeae activity against all of
