Antibacterial activity of Terminalia chebula against both; Gram positive and Gram negative human pathogenic bacteria has also been recorded. Gallic acid
and its ethyl ester isolated from ethanolic extract of Haritaki showed antimicrobial action against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Diffusate of Haritaki featured an inhibitory effect against strain XC-100 of the bacterium Xanthomonas Campestris pv. Citri, indicating its efficacy to manage citrus canker disease.

It is useful against the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans, dermatophytes Epidermophyton, Floccosum, Microsporum gypseum and Trichophyton rubrum. Its inhibitory effect on three dermatophytes (Trichophyton spp.) and three yeasts (Candida spp.) has also been recorded
Terminalia chebula fruits yielded four immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase inhibitors, gallic acid and three galloy glucoses. Their galloyl moiety plays important role in inhibiting the 3'–processing of HIV-1 integrase of the compounds. Terminalia chebula also features retroviral reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity. The herb protects epithelial cells against influenza A virus, supporting its traditional use for assisting in recovery from acute respiratory infections. It also showed a substantial inhibitory activity on the effects of immunodeficiency virus- 1-transcriptase.
Terminalia chebula has also established therapeutic activity against Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) both in vitro and in vivo tests. These findings prompted a team of Japanese researchers to evaluate Terminalia chebulas’s effect on human cytomagalovirus (CMV). They found that Terminalia chebula was very effective in suppressing the replication of human cytomagalo virus in vitro and in an AIDS model mice with immunosupresssion and concluded that it may be useful for the prevention of CMV diseases and immonocompronised patients.

Besides, acetone extract of bark and fruit powder of herb, harbors constituents are with assuring antimutagenic/ anticarcinogenic activity.
Six extracts and four compounds of the herb Haritaki fruit exhibited antioxidant activity at different magnitudes of potency. Terminalia’s fruit exerts antioxidant and radio-protective activity in mice. Protective effects of an aqueous
extract of Haritaki fruit on the tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced oxidative injury was discovered in cultured rat primary hepatocytes and rat liver have also been listed. It possessed stronger antioxidant activity as compared to alpha-tocopherol; HPLC analysis with diode array detection revealed that the presence of hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives, hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, flavonol aglycones and their glycosides, as main phenolic compounds.
Adaptogenic and antianaphylactic activities of Haritaki fruit was one of the six Ayurvedic herbs administered to animals to evaluate their adaptogenic potency. All six traditional rasayana (rejuvenating herbs) plants were able to aid the animals against a variety of different stressors working in different degrees.

Cardio-protective activity of Haritaki extract pretreatment was found to
ameliorate the effect of isoproterenol on lipid peroxide formation and held the activities of the diagnostic marker enzymes in isoproterenol induced myocardial damage in mice. Its pericap has also been proven to have cardio-protective action in isolated frog heart model. Cytoprotective activity of Gallic acid (GA) and Chebulic acid (CA) were disjointed from the extract of the herbal medicine Kashi (myrobalan, the fruit of Terminalia chebula) as active principal that banned the cytotoxic T- lyphocyte (CTL)-mediated cytotoxicity.
The administration of the Haritaki or Terminalia chebula extract prior to whole body irradiation of rat resulted in a reduction of peroxidation of membrane lipids in the rat’s liver as well as a diminish in radiation induced damage to its DNA. It also protected the human lymphocytes from changing with the gamma radiation-induced damage to DNA exposed in-vitro study.
