Abstract
Phyllanthus emblica is an important medicinal plant widely used in Ayurveda and Unani medicine systems. It is distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Different parts of this plant are used in various forms, edible and therapeutic. P. emblica is rich in Vitamin C, amino acids, and minerals. This plant contains phytochemicals like tannins, vitamins, minerals, anthocyanin, flavonoids, phenolics, etc. Apart from these it also contains a potent antioxidant, ellagic acid, which helps prevent gene mutations and repair chromosomal defects. It can scavenge a wide range of ROS and reactive nitrogen species because of its four hydroxyl and two lactone functional groups.
