An Overview of Biosynthetic Pathway and Therapeutic Potential of Rutin

Mini Rev Med Chem. 2023 Jan 25. doi: 10.2174/1389557523666230125104101. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFlavonoids are compounds abundantly found in nature and known as a polyphenolic group of compounds having flavancore and show the utmost abundant collection of complexes and are found in fiber-rich root vegetables, fruits, and their eatable items. Due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, flavonoids show various therapeutic activities like antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory. Substituent groups are responsible for the onset of biochemical actions of flavonoids, which affect the metabolism. The major example of flavonol is rutin, which is constituted of rutinose and quercetin. It is a glycosidic type of flavonoid, similarly identified as purple quercitrin and Vitamin P with over 70 plant species and plant-derived foods, exclusively grapefruit, buckwheat seeds, cherries, apricots, grapes, onions, plums, and oranges. Another name forrutin is a citrus flavonoid known as rutoside, and sophorin. Rutin is a polyphenolic compound having a low molecular weight.PMID:36698235 | DOI:10.2174/1389557523666230125104101
