Abstract
BACKGROUND Bauhinia variegata, a ayurvedic medicinal plant reported for its valuable effects in various diseases. It has shown significant effects in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVE The present work was designed to study effects of aqueous and alcoholic extract (AE and AlcE) of Bauhinia variegata Linn. leaves in diabetic neuropathy. METHODS Male Sprague Dawley rats become diabetic using intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) at 55 mg/kg dose. After 6 weeks, animals were divided and were treated with AE and AlcE at a dose of 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg (p. o.) for the next four weeks. Various parameters such as glucose, thermal hyperagesia, mechanical allodynia, MNCV and oxidative stess were assessed at the end of the study. RESULTS Diabetic animals showed a significant reduction in response time in tail immersion and hot plate test as compared to animals in normal control group. AE and AlcE at 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg dose significantly increased response time in the tail immersion test. Whereas, AE and AlcE at doses 500 and 1000 mg/kg showed significant improvement and in response time in the hot plate test.AlcE at 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg dose increased the nociceptive threshold significantly. AE at doses 500 and 1000 mg/kg showed significant improvement in the nociceptive threshold. The decrease in motor nerve conduction velocity was observed in diabetic control animals, which was significantly improved after AlcE treatment as compared to AE treatment. Treatment with AE and AlcE decreased the lipid peroxidation and increased the antioxidant enzyme activity significantly in the sciatic nerve. CONCLUSION The results showed that Bauhinia variegata extracts may be considered as a effective option for management of diabetic neuropathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aldol reductase (AR) is the polyol pathway's main enzyme that portrays a crucial part in developing 'complications of diabetes' involving cataract, retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. These diabetic abnormalities are triggered tremendously via aggregation of sorbitol formation (catalyzed by AR) in the polyol pathway. Consequently, it represents an admirable therapeutic target and vast research was done for the discovery of novel molecules as potential AR inhibitors for diabetic complications. OBJECTIVE This review article has been planned to discuss an outline of diabetic complications, AR and its role in diabetic complications, natural compounds reported as AR inhibitors, and benefits of natural/plant derived AR inhibitors for the management of diabetic abnormalities. RESULTS The goal of AR inhibition remedy is to stabilize the increased flux of blood glucose and sorbitol via the 'polyol pathway' in the affected tissues. A variety of synthetic inhibitors of AR have been established such as tolrestat and sorbinil, but both of these face limitations including low permeability and health problems. Pharmaceutical industries and other scientists were also undertaking work to develop newer, active, and 'safe' AR inhibitors from natural sources. Therefore, several naturally found molecules were documented to possess a potent inhibitory action on AR activity. CONCLUSION Natural inhibitors of AR appeared as harmless pharmacological agents for controlling diabetic complications. The detailed literature throughout this article shows the significance of herbal extracts and phytochemicals as prospective useful AR inhibitors in treating diabetic complications.

Abstract
With the ever-increasing world population, an extra 1.5 billion mouths need to be fed by 2050 with continuously dwindling arable land. Hence, it is imperative that extra food come from the marginal lands that are expected to be unsuitable for growing major staple crops under the adverse climate change scenario. Crop diversity provides right alternatives for marginal environments to improve food, feed, and nutritional security. Well-adapted and climate-resilient crops will be the best fit for such a scenario to produce seed and biomass. The minor millets are known for their high nutritional profile and better resilience for several abiotic stresses that make them the suitable crops for arid and salt-affected soils and poor-quality waters. Finger millet (Eleucine coracana) and foxtail millet (Setaria italica), also considered as orphan crops, are highly tolerant grass crop species that grow well in marginal and degraded lands of Africa and Asia with better nutritional profile. Another category of grains, called pseudo-cereals, is considered as rich foods because of their protein quality and content, high mineral content, and healthy and balance food quality. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), amaranth (Amaranthus sp.), and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) fall under this category. Nevertheless, both minor millets and pseudo-cereals are morphologically different, although similar for micronutrient bioavailability, and their grains are gluten-free. The cultivation of these millets can make dry lands productive and ensure future food as well as nutritional security. Although the natural nutrient profile of these crop plant species is remarkably good, little development has occurred in advances in molecular genetics and breeding efforts to improve the bioavailability of nutrients. Recent advances in NGS have enabled the genome and transcriptome sequencing of these millets and pseudo-cereals for the faster development of molecular markers and application in molecular breeding. Genomic information on finger millet (1,196 Mb with 85,243 genes); S. italica, a model small millet (well-annotated draft genome of 420 Mb with 38,801 protein-coding genes); amaranth (466 Mb genome and 23,059 protein-coding genes); buckwheat (genome size of 1.12 Gb with 35,816 annotated genes); and quinoa (genome size of 1.5 Gb containing 54,438 protein-coding genes) could pave the way for the genetic improvement of these grains. These genomic resources are an important first step toward genetic improvement of these crops. This review highlights the current advances and available resources on genomics to improve nutrient bioavailability in these five suitable crops for the sustained healthy livelihood.

Abstract
Cell sheet technology is a novel tissue engineering technology that has been rapidly developed in recent years. As a novel technology, cell sheet technology is expected to become one of the preferred methods for cell transplantation. The present study investigated the biological effects of rutin on the formation of periodontal ligament stem cell (PDLSC) sheets and their resultant osteogenic properties. The results of Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay demonstrated that a concentration of 1×10−6 mol/l rutin promoted the proliferation of PDLSCs more effectively compared with other designed concentrations. Rutin-modified cell sheets could be induced by complete medium supplemented with 20 µg/ml vitamin C (VC) and 1×10−6 mol/l rutin. Rutin-modified cell sheets appeared thicker and more compact compared with the VC-induced PDLSC sheets, demonstrating more layers of cells (3 or 4 layers), which secreted a richer extracellular matrix (ECM). Furthermore, the improved cell sheets exhibited varying degrees of increases in the mRNA and protein expression of collagen type I (COL1), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and osteopontin (OPN). Combined treatment with VC and rutin promoted the formation of PDLSC sheets and enhanced the osteogenic differentiation potential of the cell sheets. Therefore, rutin-modified cell sheets of PDLSCs are expected to play an important role in the treatment of periodontal tissue regeneration by stem cells.

Abstract
The combination of ascorbic acid and rutin is frequently used in oral preparations. However, despite numerous protective effects of each component individually, their combined effect on ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated skin cells has never been evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effect of ascorbic acid and rutin on human keratinocytes and fibroblasts exposed to UVA and UVB radiation. Skin keratinocytes and fibroblasts exposed to UVA and UVB radiation were treated with ascorbic acid or/and rutin. The total antioxidant properties of both components, as well as their effect on cellular pro- and antioxidant status, lipid and protein oxidation, transmembrane transport, and pro-inflammatory and pro/antiapoptotic protein expression were measured. The combination of ascorbic acid and rutin had higher antioxidant properties compared to the activity of the single compound alone, and showed a stronger effect against UV-induced reactive oxygen species generation. The ascorbic acid and rutin combination also showed increased antioxidant enzyme activity (catalase, superoxide dismutase, thioredoxin reductase), which was impaired following UV irradiation. Moreover, ascorbic acid additional stimulated UV-induced bilitranslocase activity responsible for rutin transport, and therefore favored rutin effect on Nrf2 pathway, simultaneously differentiating the reaction of keratinocytes and fibroblasts. In keratinocytes, Nrf2 is strongly activated, while in fibroblasts decreased Nrf2 activity was observed. Used mixture, also significantly silenced UV-induced expression of pro-inflammatory factor NFκB and pro-apoptotic proteins such as caspases 3, 8, and 9. These results showed that ascorbic acid and rutin are complementary in their antioxidant actions, transport and signaling functions. Their combined antioxidant, antiinflammatory and antiapoptotic actions suggest rutin and ascorbic acid are a potentially cytoprotective team against UV-induced skin damage.

Ameliorative potential of rutin in combination with nimesulide in STZ model of diabetic neuropathy: targeting Nrf2/HO-1/NF-kB and COX signalling pathway. Inflammopharmacology 2017; 26:755-768. [PMID: 29094308 DOI: 10.1007/s10787-017-0413-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2017] [Accepted: 10/19/2017] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Emerging role of Nrf-2/HO-1 in pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy has been suggested. Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes and more than 50% patients of diabetes develop diabetic neuropathy. Rutin has been well documented to show protective effect in various complications, e.g., diabetic neuropathy. However, its mechanistic insight is still not completely understood. The present study has been designed to explore the protective effect of rutin and its interaction with COX-2 inhibitor, nimesulide in diabetic neuropathy. DN (diabetic neuropathy) rats were maintained with or without rutin (100 and 200 mg/kg), nimesulide (5 and 10 mg/kg), and their combinations for 8 weeks. Body weight, serum glucose, pain assessment (mechanical allodynia, cold allodynia, mechanical hyperalgesia, and thermal hyperalgesia), and motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) were measured in all groups. Oxidative damage was assessed through biochemical estimation and mitochondrial ROS production, followed by inflammatory and apoptotic markers (TNF-α, caspase-3, Nrf-2, HO-1, and NF-kBp65) for their activity, protein, and gene expression. The structural changes were also reported through transmission electron microscope. Streptozotocin injection (55 mg/kg) induced diabetes reduced body weight, reduced the threshold for pain in various pain assessment parameters. Oxidative damage (increased MDA, decreased SOD, catalase, and GSH levels) increased mitochondrial ROS production followed by increased expression of inflammatory markers and decreased expression of Nrf-2/HO-1 in sciatic nerve. Treatment with rutin (100 and 200 mg/kg) and nimesulide (5 and 10 mg/kg) significantly attenuates these alterations as compared to DN control rats. Furthermore, combination of rutin (200 mg/kg) and nimesulide (10 mg/kg) significantly potentiated their protective effect which was significant as compared to their effect alone in streptozotocin-treated rats. The present study suggests the involvement of Nrf-2/HO-1 pathway in the protective effect of rutin against streptozotocin-induced diabetic neuropathy.

Abstract
AbstractA relatively novel approach for easy and quick determination of rutin in buckwheat grain is suggested. The rutin content of the grain in seven common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) and six Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) varieties was investigated by means of UV photoacoustic spectroscopy and HPLC as reference method. The lowest content was found in ‘Botan’ and ‘Bamby’ varieties, while the highest values were obtained in the variety ‘Emka’. Rutin content in grain of all Tartary buckwheat varieties was two orders of magnitude higher than in the other varieties. Rutin content in F. esculentum ranges between 9 and 36 mg/100 g dry weight as compared to 921 to 2 132 mg/100 g dry weight in F. tataricum. The UV photoacoustic spectroscopy data show rather good correlations of R2=0.977 and R2=0.980 with values obtained by HPLC data for all measured samples. Therefore, UV photoacoustic spectroscopy can be a cheap and quick method for determining rutin content in buckwheat grain.

Abstract
Chronic hyperglycaemia (an abnormally high glucose concentration in the blood) resulting from defects in insulin secretion/action, or both, is the major hallmark of diabetes in which it is known to be involved in the progression of the condition to different complications that include diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy (diabetes-induced nerve damage) is the most common diabetic complication and can be devastating because it can lead to disability. There is an increasing body of evidence associating diabetic neuropathy with oxidative stress. Oxidative stress results from the production of oxygen free radicals in the body in excess of its ability to eliminate them by antioxidant activity. Antioxidants have different mechanisms and sites of actions by which they exert their biochemical effects and ameliorate nerve dysfunction in diabetes by acting directly against oxidative damage. This review will examine different strategies for managing diabetic neuropathy which rely on exogenous antioxidants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, flavonoids have been revealed to be helpful in the treatment of many diseases. Rutin (3,3',4',5,7-pentahydroxyflavone-3-rhamnoglucoside) is an important flavonoid that is consumed in the daily diet. It is also known as vitamin P and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside. In addition, it is found in many food items, vegetables, and beverages. The cytoprotective effects of rutin, including gastroprotective, hepatoprotective, and anti-diabetic effects, have been shown in several studies. Furthermore, rutin has several pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory and anti-glycation activities. AIM This work reviewed characteristic, pharmacokinetic, and metabolic effects of rutin in all experimental and human studies. CONCLUSIONS Based on the above summarized effects of rutin, this flavonoid appears to be a potent component that could be considered in the treatment of several gastrointestinal diseases and diabetes.

Abstract
α-Glucosidase is a critical associated enzyme with type 2 diabetes mellitus in humans. Inhibition of α-glucosidase is important due to the potential effect of down regulating glucose absorption in patients. In this study, the inhibitory activity of flavone luteolin on α-glucosidase and their interaction mechanism were investigated by multispectroscopic methods along with molecular docking technique. It was found that luteolin reversibly inhibited α-glucosidase in a noncompetitive manner with an IC50 value of (1.72 ± 0.05) × 10(-4) mol L(-1), and the inhibition followed a multi-phase kinetic process with a first-order reaction. Luteolin had a strong ability to quench the intrinsic fluorescence of α-glucosidase through a static quenching procedure. The positive values of enthalpy and entropy change suggested that the binding of luteolin to α-glucosidase was driven mainly by hydrophobic interactions, and the binding distance was estimated to be 4.56 nm. Analysis of synchronous fluorescence, circular dichroism, and Fourier transform infrared spectra demonstrated that the binding of luteolin to α-glucosidase induced rearrangement and conformational changes of the enzyme. Moreover, the results obtained from molecular docking indicated that luteolin had a high affinity close to the active site pocket of α-glucosidase and indirectly inhibited the catalytic activity of the enzyme.

Abstract
Neuropathy is the most common and debilitating complication of diabetes and results in pain, decreased motility, and amputation. Diabetic neuropathy encompasses a variety of forms whose impact ranges from discomfort to death. Hyperglycemia induces oxidative stress in diabetic neurons and results in activation of multiple biochemical pathways. These activated pathways are a major source of damage and are potential therapeutic targets in diabetic neuropathy. Though therapies are available to alleviate the symptoms of diabetic neuropathy, few options are available to eliminate the root causes. The immense physical, psychological, and economic cost of diabetic neuropathy underscore the need for causally targeted therapies. This review covers the pathology, epidemiology, biochemical pathways, and prevention of diabetic neuropathy, as well as discusses current symptomatic and causal therapies and novel approaches to identify therapeutic targets.

Abstract
There is now a large body of supporting data available that links oxidative modifications of proteins to a large number of diseases, degenerative disorders and aging. However, the detailed analysis of oxidative protein modifications remains challenging. Here, we report a new efficient method for identification of oxidatively modified proteins in complex biological samples which is based on the use of an aldehyde-reactive probe, N'-aminooxymethylcarbonylhydrazino-D-biotin (ARP), in combination with Western-type analyses and MS. The biotinylated hydroxylamine derivative forms a chemically stable oxime derivative with the aldehyde/keto group found in carbonyl-modified proteins. The biotin tag is detected by avidin affinity staining. ARP-positive proteins are subsequently subjected to in-gel trypsinization and MS/MS for protein identification. We demonstrate the usefulness of the method for the analysis of protein extracts obtained from interfibrillar heart mitochondria (IFM) from young and old rats. In this study, we identified as putative major protein targets of oxidative modifications the mitochondrial matrix protein, aconitase, the inner mitochondrial membrane protein, ADP/ATP translocase, and constituents of the electron transport chain complexes IV and V. An age-related increase of carbonyl levels was found for aconitase and ATP synthase.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Melatonin, the secretory product of the pineal gland, has potent antioxidant properties. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of low-dose (10 mg/kg) vs high-dose (50 mg/kg) melatonin on early lipid peroxidation levels and ultrastructural changes in experimental blunt sciatic nerve injury (SNI). We believe this to be the first study to assess the dose-dependent neuroprotective effects of melatonin after a blunt peripheral nerve injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rats were randomly allocated into 5 groups of 10 animals each. The SNI only rats underwent a nerve injury procedure. The SNI plus vehicle group received SNI and intraperitoneal injection of vehicle (diluted ethanol) as a placebo. The SNI plus low-dose or high-dose melatonin groups received intraperitoneal melatonin at doses of 10 mg/kg or 50 mg/kg, respectively. Controls had no operation, melatonin or vehicle injection. SNI was induced by clamping the sciatic nerve at the upper border of the quadratus femoris for 2 min. RESULTS Sciatic nerve samples were harvested 6 h after nerve injury and processed for biochemical and ultrastructural analysis. Trauma increased the lipid peroxidation of the sciatic nerve by 3.6-fold (153.85 +/- 18.73 in SNI only vs 41.73 +/- 2.23 in control rats, P < 0.01). Low (P = 0.02) and high (P < 0.01) doses of melatonin attenuated the nerve lipid peroxidation by 25% and 57.25%, respectively (65.76 +/- 2.47 in high-dose vs 115.08 +/- 7.03 in low-dose melatonin groups). DISCUSSION Although low-dose melatonin reduced trauma-induced myelin breakdown and axonal changes in the sciatic nerve, high-dose melatonin almost entirely neutralized any ultrastructural changes. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that melatonin, especially at a dose of 50 mg/kg, has a potent neuroprotective effect and can preserve peripheral neural fibers from lipid peroxidative damage after blunt trauma. With further investigations, we hope that these data may prove useful to clinicians who treat patients with nerve injuries.

Abstract
The rutin content of the grain of 31 buckwheat varieties (28F. esculentumand 3F. tataricum) grown on the high plain of Sila (Region of Calabria) and on the massif of Pollino (Region of Basilicata) presented a substantial degree of variation.Among theF. esculentumvarieties the lowest values were found for Botan and Spacinska, while the highest contents were observed in the varieties Emka and Lechnicka Krajova. As expected, the rutin content of the grain ofF. tataricumwas higher than that ofF. esculentum, with the variety Donan showing the highest value.In view of the role of rutin in conferring most of the functional food characteristics of buckwheat, knowledge of the grain rutin content expressed in a specific environment, together with the yield potential, is important for the identification of buckwheat varieties worth adopting in an area such as the high plain of Sila, which, thanks to its extent, has the potential to represent a novel territory for the profitable cultivation of buckwheat in Italy.

Abstract
The present study focused on examining the efficacy of feeding a rutin-glucose derivative (G-rutin) to inhibit glycation reactions that can occur in muscle, kidney and plasma proteins of diabetic rats. Both thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance levels and protein carbonyl contents in muscle and kidney were significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats fed G-rutin supplemented diet, compared to diabetic rats fed control diet. The N(epsilon)-fructoselysine content in muscle and kidney, a biomarker of early glycation reaction, was markedly (p < 0.05) increased by diabetes, but significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in diabetic rats fed G-rutin. Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in serum and kidney protein were measured by immunoblot using anti-AGE antibody, and were also reduced in diabetic rats fed dietary G-rutin. Feeding G-rutin also slightly inhibited aldose reductase activity in these animals. These results demonstrate for the first time that dietary G-rutin consumption can provide potential health benefits that are related to the inhibition of tissue glycation reactions common to diabetes.
