de Morais Campos R, Lima LMALL, da Silva AG, Santiago RO, Paz IA, Cabral PHB, Santos CF, Fonteles MC, do Nascimento NRF. Rutin ameliorates nitrergic and endothelial dysfunction on vessels and corpora cavernosa of diabetic animals. Res Vet Sci 2023; 161:163-172. [PMID: 37406575 DOI: 10.1016/j.rvsc.2023.06.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2021] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023]
Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is an early complication of diabetes and it is related to both micro- and macroangiopathies. In addition, >70% of diabetic patients develop autonomic neuropathies. Increased oxidative stress has a major role in the development of both nitrergic and endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this work is to evaluate whether rutin, a potent antioxidant, could ameliorate nitrergic and/or endothelial dysfunction in diabetic animals. Primary and secondary treatment protocols with rutin were investigated on rat aortic rings and the mesenteric arteriolar bed, and on rabbit aortic rings and corpora cavernosa (RbCC) from both euglycemic and alloxan-diabetic animals. Acetylcholine endothelium-dependent and sodium nitroprusside endothelium-independent relaxations were compared in tissues from euglycemic or diabetic animals. Electrical field stimulation (EFS)-induced relaxation was performed only in the RbCC. Endothelial-dependent relaxations were blunted by 40% in vessels and neuronal relaxation was blunted by 50% in RbCC taken from diabetic animals when compared to euglycemic animals. Pre-treatment with rutin restored both neuronal and endothelial dependent relaxations in diabetic animals towards the values achieved in control euglycemic tissues. Rutin was able to ameliorate both endothelial dysfunction and nitrergic neuropathy in animal experimental models. Rutin could be a lead compound in the primary or secondary preventive ancillary treatment of endothelial and nitrergic dysfunction in the course of diabetes.

Abstract
Chromochloris zofingiensis represents a potential algal producer of the value-added ketocarotenoid astaxanthin. Here, rutin, a low-cost flavonoid compound, was evaluated regarding its roles in C. zofingiensis production under astaxanthin-inducing conditions via physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomics analyses. The rutin treatment allowed C. zofingiensis to achieve 81.2% more biomass and 20.5% greater astaxanthin content under nitrogen deprivation, leading to more than doubled astaxanthin production. The rutin-treated C. zofingiensis had higher levels of chlorophylls, proteins, and lipids and lower carbohydrate level than the control. Rutin promoted the intracellular abscisic acid (ABA) level, which could be restored by the ABA biosynthesis inhibitor, accompanied by the restoration of biomass concentration and astaxanthin content. The application of exogenous ABA to C. zofingiensis also furthered biomass concentration and astaxanthin accumulation. Together with the comparative transcriptomics analysis, our study provides implications into the involvement of ABA in rutin-mediated stimulation of C. zofingiensis growth and astaxanthin accumulation and highlights a feasible strategy of combining stress and chemical induction for improved microalgal production.

Abstract
The present study was designed to evaluate the chemical extraction, chemical composition, and antioxidant and antibacterial properties of the total flavonoids in Willow Buds (TFW). We investigated the optimal extraction of TFW using response surface methodology (RSM). Chemical compounds were analyzed using Q-Orbitrap LC-MS/MS. The DPPH radical scavenging capacity, hydroxy radical inhibitory ability, and superoxide anion radical inhibitory ability were explored to determine the antioxidant properties of flavonoid extractions. The antibacterial effect was assessed via minimal inhibitory concentration. The results demonstrated that the optimal extraction conditions were an ethanol concentration of 50%, a time of 35 min, and a liquid/material ratio of 70:1 mL/g. Under these conditions, the yield of TFW was 7.57%. Eight flavonoids, a phenolic glycoside, and an alkaloid were enriched in the Willow Buds. The TFW exhibited significant antioxidant activity, with IC50 values of 0.18-0.24 mg/mL and antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. TFW may be explored as potential and natural compounds in food and pharmacological applications.

Abstract
The gap between the current serious soil heavy metal (HM) contamination and the low efficiency of soil remediation threatens human health. The aim of this study was to propose a method to improve the efficiency of phytoremediation by exogenous rutin application and explain the potential mechanism. A series of rutin treatments were designed to evaluate the biomass, cadmium (Cd) accumulation and physiological and biochemical responses of Amaranthus hypochondriacus under different Cd stresses. The results showed a decline in cell membrane damage with rutin application, and more Cd ions were immobilized in the cell wall than in the vacuole, resulting in an increase in Cd tolerance in plants. The addition of rutin caused significant effects on the synthesis of glutathione (GSH), including the advancement of the conversion of GSH to phytochelatins (PCs). Among them, PC2 and PC3 in the leaves contributed the most to the high accumulation of Cd. Overall, the phytoremediation efficiency and phytoextraction amount of Amaranthus hypochondriacus with rutin application were improved maximumly by 219.48% and 260.00%, respectively. This study provides a constructive approach for improving the efficiency of phytoremediation by foliar application of flavonoids and contributes to the further development of soil remediation in Cd-contaminated fields.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Kidney disease (KD) is one of the serious health issues, which causes worrisome morbidity and economic burden. Therapeutic strategies are available however majority of them are associated with severe adverse effects and poor patient compliance and adherence. This explorative article was undertaken to provide a holistic review of known nephroprotective (NP) phytoconstituents along with their research-based evidences on mechanism, sources, and clinical trials that may play essential role in prevention and cure of KD. AIM OF THE STUDY The present systematic review aimed to provide in-depth and better evidences of the global burden of KD, phytoconstituents as NP with emphasis on mechanism of action both in vitro and in vivo, their wide biological sources as well as their clinical efficacy in management of kidney disease and its related disorders. MATERIAL AND METHODS Comprehensive information was searched systematically from electronic databases, namely, PubMed, Sciencedirect, Wiley, Scopus, Google scholar and Springer until February 2021 to find relevant data for publication on phytoconstituents with nephroprotective potential. RESULTS In total, 24,327 articles were screened in first search for "phytoconstituents and medicinal plants for nephroprotection and kidney disorder". On the basis of exclusion and inclusion criteria, 24,091 were excluded. Only 236 papers were spotted to have superlative quality data, which is appropriate under titles and sub-titles of the present review. The phytoconstituents having multiple research evidence along with wide number of medicinal plants sources and mechanism reported for nephroprotection have been selected and reviewed. CONCLUSION This review, based on pre-clinical and clinical data of NP phytoconstituents, provides scientific-basis for the rational discovery, development and utilization of these upcoming treatment practices. Further,-more clinical studies are warranted to improve the pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic understanding of phytoconstituents. Also, more specific evaluation for natural sources is needed.

Abstract
Rutin is a flavonoid with strong antioxidative effects on plant metabolism that facilitates resistance to environmental stress. The effect of foliar rutin on cadmium (Cd) uptake in Amaranthus hypochondriacus (K472) was studied. The results showed that a foliar spray of rutin alleviated Cd toxicity, promoted plant growth, improved Cd transfer to and storage in aerial plant parts and Cd accumulation with positive effects over time. A rutin concentration of 1.5 mg/mL showed the strongest promotion effect: the biomass and Cd content were increased at 13 days by 68.62% and 405.54% compared to 3 days, respectively, whereas a high concentration of rutin (5 mg/mL) inhibited plant growth and hindered Cd absorption. Two stages of Cd detoxification were identified in K472 after appropriate rutin application. First, an antioxidant system including an enzymatic antioxidant (superoxide dismutase [SOD]) and nonenzymatic antioxidants (glutathione [GSH] and flavonoids) was activated to enhance plant stress resistance. Quercetin and phytochelatin (PC) synthesis were then enhanced to perform detoxification synergistically with the antioxidant system to improve stress tolerance and achieve stable Cd detoxification. The results demonstrated that appropriately prolonging the application time of exogenous rutin to K472 is an effective way to improve the Cd remediation efficiency.

Abstract
Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease that affects approximately 26% of adult population, worldwide. Rutin is one of the important flavonoids that is consumed in the daily diet, and found in many food items, vegetables, and beverages. Uninephrectomy (UNX) of the left kidney was performed, followed by induction of hypertension. The rats were randomly divided into four groups of 10 rats: group 1-Sham-operated rats; group 2-UNX rats, group 3-UNX-L-NAME (40 mg/kg) plus rutin (100 mg/kg bwt), and groups 4-UNX-L-NAME plus lisinopril (10 mg/kg bwt), orally for 3 weeks. Results revealed significant heightening of arterial pressure and oxidative stress indices, while hypertensive rats treated with rutin had lower expressions of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and mineralocorticoid receptor in uninephrectomized rats. Together, rutin as a novel antihypertensive flavonoid could provide an unimaginable benefits for the management of hypertension through inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme and mineralocorticoid receptor. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Hypertension has been reported to be the most common cardiovascular disease, affecting approximately 26% of the adult population worldwide with predicted prevalence to increase by 60% by 2025. Recent advances in phytomedicine have shown flavonoids to be very helpful in the treatment of many diseases. Flavonoids have been used in the treatment and management of cardiovascular diseases, obesity and hypertension. The study revealed that rutin, a known flavonoid inhibited angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin 2 type 1 receptor (ATR1), and mineralocorticoid receptor (MCR), comparable to the classic ACE inhibitor, Lisinopril, indicating the novel antihypertensive property of rutin. Therefore, flavonoids such as rutin found in fruits and vegetables could, therefore, serve as an antihypertensive drug regimen. Combining all, functional foods rich in flavonoids could be used as potential therapeutic candidates for managing uninephrectomized hypertensive patients.

Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate effects of dietary Mulberry leaves on growth performance, carcass traits and meat quality in finishing pigs. Here, a total of 72 crossbred [(Landrace × Yorkshire) × Duroc] pigs with an average initial body weight of 70.03 ± 0.48 kg were used in this 45-day feeding trial. The pigs were randomly divided into three groups (6 pigs/pen and 4 replicates/group). Dietary treatments included a control diet (without any Mulberry leaves) and diets supplemented with 5% non- or fermented Mulberry leaf powder (MF or FMF respectively). The present findings indicated that compared with the control group, administration of MF or FMF significantly improved gain: feed ratio (p < .05) and reduced the backfat thickness (p < .05). Meanwhile, dietary MF and FMF significantly enhanced triglyceride deposition in Longissimus dorsi muscles (p < .05). Besides, both of MF and FMF could effectively improve the antioxidant capacity by increasing the content of T-AOC and SOD in serum and reduce the rancidity of pork. In conclusion, supplementary MF and FMF could promote gain: feed ratio, reduce backfat thickness, increase fat deposition in muscle and reduce the rancidity of pork.

Abstract
Rutin, a food derived-polyphenolic bioflavonoid, has been acknowledged for several health benefits. This study aims to explore the ameliorative effects of rutin against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) toxicity in male rats. Adult male rats were given either CCl4 (30% in olive oil, 3 ml/kg b.w. intraperitoneally) alone or in combination with rutin (70 mg/kg intragastrically) twice a week for 4 weeks. Our data showed that rutin mitigated CCl4 hepatorenal damage, as indicated by diagnostic markers (i.e., transaminases, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, total protein, albumin, urea, uric acid and creatinine), and histopathological findings. In addition, CCl4 induced profound elevation of free radical generation and oxidative stress, as evidenced by increasing lipid peroxidation and reducing catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities in liver, kidney and testicular tissues; these effects were suppressed by coexposure with rutin. Moreover, the increase in the levels of serum triglycerides, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol induced by CCl4 was effectively counteracted by rutin. The decrease in the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the CCl4 group was also counteracted by rutin treatment. Interestingly, the decreased levels of hormonal mediators associated with sperm production, including serum testosterone, luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, and the impaired sperm quality induced by CCl4 were reversed by rutin. Data from the current study clearly demonstrated that rutin supplementation could at least partly overcome CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity and reproductive toxicity by antioxidant and antidyslipidemic effects.
