Abstract
Mexico and the northern part of South America are the origins of Cosmos sulphureus. Other common names are Kuntze, Cosmos sulphurea, Cosmos artemisiifolius, Coreopsis artemisiofolia, Cosmos aurantiacus, and Bidens aetemisiifolia. The plant is also known as yellow cosmos and sulphur cosmos. Compositae/Asteraceae is the family to which Cosmos sulphureus belongs. The Greek term Kosmos, which literally translates as "beauty" and has a "base concept of orderliness," is where the name Cosmos comes from. The plant species Sulphureus is known by its orange and yellow color flower. It is a tap-rooted, common ornamental plant that belongs to the herbaceous horticulture group. Chlorogenic acid, quercetin, gallic acid, caffeine, p-coumaric acid, and vanillic acid are the main compounds found in the plant. Alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and phenolic substances constitute other phytochemical components. Chalcone, butein 4'-O-glycoside, 2 flavanols, eriodictyol 7-Oglycoside, and 7-O-glucuronide are all present in the hybrid form of the Cosmos sulphureus plant. The artificial substance aurone, sulfuretin 6-O-glucoside, is found in rose parts. Flavonol and quercetin 3-O-glucoside are examples of several synthetic substances. Cosmos sulphureus is used to increase blood flow throughout the body, lower body temperature, strengthen bone marrow, act as an anti-aging agent, prevent cancer, and treat diseases caused by harmful microorganisms. It acts as an anti-inflammatory agent by inhibiting aromatase, and cyclooxygenase. Young branches of this plant are consumed raw or fried in Indonesia. It can act as a natural herbicide and coloring agent (orange yellow color). Malaria is treated with the help of the rhizomes. It demonstrates the inhibition of action in plasmodium parasites, infections, and microorganisms.
