It has been found to be immunosuppressive,〔()〕 hepatoprotective,〔()〕 and a potent alpha-glucosidase inhibitor,〔Sasidharan, J Enzyme Inhib Med Chem 27:578 2012 PMID 22512724〕〔Pham, Pharm Biol 2014 PMID 24635511〕 a human gut enzyme useful in diabetic studies. It has been shown to be active against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans〔()〕 It is found in the plants ''Terminalia chebula'', ''T. citrina'' and ''T. catappa''.〔(Chemopreventive effect of punicalagin, a novel tannin component isolated from Terminalia catappa, on H-ras-transformed NIH3T3 cells. ) Pin-Shern Chen and Jih-Heng Li, Toxicology Letters, Volume 163, Issue 1, 5 May 2006, Pages 44-53〕 It is formed from geraniin through a glutathione-mediated conversion.〔Glutathione-mediated conversion of the ellagitannin geraniin into chebulagic acid.
