Rutin is a phenolic compound and found in many plant species. Its name is derived from Ruta graveolens a plant that contain this compound. Rutin has many health benefits like it inhibits platelet aggregation, inflammation, hemorrhoid development etc. It is also used in dietary supplements of human beings for its health benefits. Therefore, this study was planned to investigate its other medicin...

flavonoids could serve as potent inhibitors of xanthine oxidase (xo). in the present study, the effects of ruta graveolens l. extract and its major isolated flavonoids, quercetin and rutin, on guinea pig liver xo have been investigated. the inhibitory effects of r. graveolens, quercetin and its glycoside form, rutin, were assayed spectrophotometrically. r. graveolens extract showed moderate inh...

BACKGROUND The present study was designed to investigate the behavioral and neurochemical effects of long-term oral rutin administration to old male WAG rats (100 and 200 mg/kg b.w./day). Rutin is a well-known dietary flavonol glycoside with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. METHODS First, spatial memory was assessed in the water maze and then the levels of neurotransmitters in se...

Lipase-catalyzed synthesis of lipophilic phenolic antioxidants was carried out with a concentrate of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), recovered from oil extracted from salmon ( Salmon salar ) byproduct. Vanillyl alcohol and rutin were selected for the esterification reaction, and obtained esters yields were 60 and 30%, respectively. The antioxidant activities of the esters were compared...

Separation of polyphenolic phytochemical compounds from their mixtures with sugars is necessary to produce an added-value sugar-reduced extract with high biological activity from fruit juice processing industry waste streams. The separation characteristics of a binary mixture of rutin and glucose using a Pellicon-2 regenerated cellulose ultrafiltration membrane with an area of 0.1 m(2) having n...

The aim of this study was to determine the variation of phenolic compounds in common and tartary buckwheats collected from China, Japan and Korea. Two buckwheat varieties of each country were cultivated using nutrient solution and vermiculite in the greenhouse from February to May, 2012 and harvested at twoweek intervals. Phenolics such as chlorogenic acid, C-glycosylflavones (orientin, isoorie...

The potential of tobacco waste as a viable source of medicinally important flavonoids like rutin has been investigated. Three flavonoids, apigenin, quercetin and rutin, have been isolated from waste tobacco leaves, and their identities have been confirmed by UV-visible, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. By using analytical HPLC, the amount of rutin present in the tobacco leaves, before and after...
