rutin

Rutin, a bioflavonoid found in many plants, has garnered attention for its wide range of biological activities, including potential antidiabetic effects. This blog article, based on a comprehensive review by Ahmad Ghorbani in Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy (2017), explores the antidiabetic properties of rutin and its mechanisms of action.

Recent research suggests that rutein, a flavonoid found in certain fruits and vegetables, may have potential in combating osteoarthritis and its symptoms.

The research focused on analyzing bioactive compounds from three sources: air-dried mulberry fruit (DMF), mulberry fruit juice (MFJ), and mulberry fruit pomace (MFP). This analysis included evaluating their impact on advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). The study revealed that extracts from DMF, MFJ, and MFP notably reduced AGEs in both fructose-BSA and MGO-BSA models. Compositional analysis indicated a positive correlation between phenolic content and antioxidant effectiveness. The study also explored how MFP extracts could counteract MGO-induced aging deficits in HaCaT cells.

The blog article examines the neuroprotective qualities of Ruta graveolens, a plant used in traditional medicine, highlighting its potential in treating neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and Huntington's.

The present-day scientific community now acknowledges flavonoids as a distinct category of therapeutic molecules owing to their varied therapeutic properties. Among these, rutin, alternatively known as vitamin P or rutoside, has been investigated for numerous pharmacological effects.
