Hybanthus enneaspermus (L.) F. Muell belonging to the family Violaceae, popularly known as Ratanpurus (Hindi) is a herb or a shrub distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. In the Ayurvedic literature, the plant is reported to cure conditions of "Kapha" and "Pitta", urinary calculi, strangury, painful dysentery, vomiting, burning sensation, wandering of the mind, urethral discharge, blood trouble, asthma, epilepsy, cough, and to give tone to the breasts. Phytochemically, the plant contains a considerable amount of dipeptide alkaloids, aurantiamide acetate, isoarborinol, and β-sitosterol, sugars, flavonoids, steroids, triterpenes, phenols, flavones, catachins, tannins, anthraquinones and amino acids. Pharmacologically, the plant is reported to possess antidiabetic, antiplasmodial, antimicrobial, anticonvulsant, nephroprotective, aphrodisiac, hepatoprotective, antiinflammatory, aldose reductase inhibitory and free radical scavenging activities. The information provided in this review will be worthwhile to know the applicability of H. enneaspermus for the treatment of various acute or chronic diseases with a diverse nature of phytoconstituents. The overall data in this review article were collected from various scientific sources on the research of H. enneaspermus.

In this study, we green synthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag Nps) from leaves (HE-Ag NPs) and evaluated their antimicrobial and wound-healing properties. The synthesized HE-Ag NPs were characterized using various techniques, revealing face-centered polygonal structures, a well-dispersed appearance, and an average particle size of 42-51 nm. The antimicrobial effects of HE-Ag NPs and their embedded cotton fabrics were tested against several pathogens, showing effective inhibition of growth.

Article Synopsis
- - Anxiety is a common psychological disorder, and Hybanthus enneaspermus, a medicinal herb, may provide effective treatment options through its anxiolytic properties, evaluated using various experimental tests in rats.
- - The study employed several tests (like Elevated Plus Maze) to assess the anxiolytic potential of different doses of an ethanolic extract (EEHE) and a toluene-insoluble biofraction (ITHE) from the herb, comparing their effects to the well-known anxiety medication Diazepam.
- - ITHE at a dosage of 400 mg/kg showed significant anxiety reduction and improvements in brain health markers, boosting antioxidant enzymes and monoamines, while three flavonoids (Quercitrin, Rutin

Cyclotides are a unique family of stable and cyclic mini-proteins found in plants that have nematicidal and anthelmintic activities. They are distributed across the Rubiaceae, Violaceae, Fabaceae, Cucurbitaceae, and Solanaceae plant families, where they are posited to act as protective agents against pests. In this study, we tested the nematicidal properties of extracts from four major cyclotide-producing plants, , , , and , against the free-living model nematode .

In this study, phytoremediation potential of toxic metals like selenium (Se) and lanthanum (La) by transformed hairy roots was investigated and compared with plantlets under in-vitro conditions. Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4RS could induce hairy roots with higher biomass in 5-7 days of infection on in-vitro leaves of Hybanthus enneaspermus. The ICP-OES data indicated that the hairy roots were able to accumulate both selenium and lanthanum efficiently compared to plantlets.
