New plants with medical potential are being researched all around the world. Anisopus mannii is a herb currently utilized in traditional Northern Nigerian medicinal formulations. Various plant elements are used to treat diabetes, Analgesics, Antiparasitic Inflammation, Hypertension, Anti-microbial Infertility, Breast milk enhancement, and jaundice in infants. The ethnopharmacological importance of the species necessitated the need to compile the findings of previously published work on A. mannii, highlighting the potential utility of the species. Valuable information from original scientific research papers was extracted using electronic databases such as ScienceDirect, PubMed, Wiley, Google Scholar, and Springer. Antioxidant, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antibacterial, pharmaceuticals, antiviral, traditional medicine, ethnopharmacology, toxicity, cytotoxic activity, chemical composition, mineral elements, Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) analysis, and any other related terms were used to discover studies. Exclusion criteria: This analysis rejected the following data from dubious online sources, as well as thesis reports and review publications. A. mannii has been found to be a medicinal plant that has antidiabetics, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic qualities. People's health is greatly impacted by the plant. These findings back up the plant's traditional use and show its enormous potential as a source of antidiabetics.
