ABSTRACT
Emblicanin-A and Emblicanin-B constituents are found in Phyllanthus emblica, also known as Emblica officinalis (Family: Euphorbiaceae) belonging to class hydrolyzable tannins. Apart from these, constituents of different classes like alkaloids, amino acids, carbohydrates, flavonoids, organic acids, phenols, and vitamins are present in the plant. Several pharmacological activities have been well-researched including anal-gesic, antibacterial, larvicidal, antifungal, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, mosquitocidal, and anticancer activities. Emblicanin-A and Emblicanin-B as well as others have less solubility in water and that is the reason their bioavailability had reported less in formulation. This chapter summarizes 14the pharmacological action and their applications in different nanoformulation dosages. They have abundant potential applications and are sure to be incorporated in the future into commercially available products and new uses/processes are going to be explored.
