Abstract

Phyllanthus emblica, popularly mentioned as amla or Indian gooseberry, has attracted a lot of interest lately because of its varied phytochemical makeup and related pharmacological properties. The phytochemistry, historical applications, bioactive makeup, and pharmacological properties of Phyllanthus emblica fruits are all summarised in this paper. This review emphasises the rich phytochemical profile of Phyllanthus emblica, which contains flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, and polyphenolic chemicals, through a thorough assessment of the literature. Furthermore, the historical value of Phyllanthus emblica as a therapeutic agent for a variety of health issues is shown by its traditional applications in numerous indigenous medical systems. The bioactive makeup of Phyllanthus emblica fruits, especially its high polyphenol and vitamin C content, is responsible for its hepatoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory qualities. Moreover, new pharmacological research has clarified its potential for the cure of neurological illnesses, tumor, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. In order to shed light on the pharmacological properties of Phyllanthus emblica fruits and suggest future avenues for study, this review compiles the body of scientific data that is already accessible. All things considered, Phyllanthus Emblica shows great promise as a natural resource with significant applications in complementary and alternative medicine and pharmacological research.
