Resumo: Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl) A. Gray, commonly known as “Mexican Sunflower”, is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Asteraceae family, native to Mexico and Central America. At present, however, this species is widely found in many countries outside of these areas, including Brazil. It has been the subject of many scientific studies which by highlighting the chemical constitution of its main structures such as leaves, inflorescences, stalk and roots, consequently bring to light this species’ nutritional and therapeutic potential in current literature. The aim of this study is to produce a literature review on the ethnobotanical aspects and possible pharmacological applications of T. diversifolia, with emphasis on its chemical composition, morphological characteristics and pharmacotherapeutic applications. The present study is a bibliographical, exploratory and qualitative research, carried out due to the need to elucidate the proposed theme and fulfills the role of reviewing the specific bibliography on the addressed topic. Based on the produced bibliography, it is noticeable that Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl) A. Gray is a plant of potential nutritional and pharmacological interest. In general, the studies reviewed here strengthen and highlight the evidence of the diverse applications of this species by traditional medicine, which, in turn, contribute to the development of studies that guarantee the identification of active constituents and their respective biotechnological applications.

Gray, conocido comúnmente como "girasol mexicano", es una planta herbácea perenne de la familia de las asteráceas, originaria de México y América Central. En la actualidad, sin embargo, esta especie se encuentra ampliamente en muchos países fuera de esas zonas, incluido el Brasil. Ha sido objeto de numerosos estudios científicos que, al poner de relieve la constitución química de sus principales estructuras como hojas, inflorescencias, tallo y raíces, ponen de manifiesto el potencial nutricional y terapéutico de esta especie en la literatura actual. El objetivo de este estudio es realizar una revisión de la literatura sobre los aspectos etnobotánicos y las posibles aplicaciones farmacológicas de T. diversifolia, haciendo hincapié en su composición química, características morfológicas y aplicaciones farmacoterapéuticas. El presente estudio es una investigación bibliográfica, exploratoria y cualitativa, realizada por la necesidad de dilucidar el tema propuesto y cumple el rol de revisión de la bibliografía específica sobre el tema abordado. Con base en la bibliografía producida, se destaca que Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl) A. Gray es una planta de potencial interés nutricional y farmacológico. En general, los estudios aquí reseñados refuerzan y resaltan la evidencia de las diversas aplicaciones de esta especie por la medicina tradicional, lo que, a su vez, contribuye al desarrollo de estudios que garanticen la identificación de constituyentes activos y sus respectivas aplicaciones biotecnológicas.Tithonia diversifolia (Hemsl) A.
