Abstract
Rutin is a flavonoid present in numerous fruits and vegetables and therefore widely consumed by humans. It is also a popular dietary supplement of 250-500 mg/day. There is considerable consumer interest in rutin due to numerous reports in the biomedical literature of its multi-system chemo-preventive properties. The present paper provides the first assessment of rutin-induced hormetic concentration/dose responses, their quantitative features and mechanistic basis, along with their biological, biomedical, clinical, and public health implications. The findings indicate that rutin-induced hormetic dose responses are widespread, being reported in numerous biological models and cell types for a wide range of endpoints. Of critical importance is that the optimal hormetic findings shown in in vitro systems are currently not achievable for human populations due to low gastrointestinal tract bioavailability. These findings have the potential to strengthen future experimental studies with rutin, particularly concerning study design parameters.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by complex clinical symptoms and multi-organ damage. One of the most prevalent complications of SLE is lupus nephritis (LN). Rutin, a natural flavonoid compound found in various plants used in traditional Chinese medicine, has shown promising anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and renal protective effects. In our study, we treated MRL/lpr mice, a model known for spontaneously developing LN, with Rutin. Our findings reveal that Rutin markedly reduced serum cytokine and autoantibody levels and decreased inflammatory cell infiltration in renal tissues, thereby ameliorating kidney pathology. In vitro experiments indicated that Rutin's therapeutic effect on LN is linked to its significant reduction of oxidative stress in T cells. Further investigations suggest that Rutin enhances oxidative stress management through the modulation of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). We observed that Rutin modulates PPARγ activity, leading to reduced transcriptional activity of NF-κB and STAT3, which in turn inhibits the secretion of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-17. In summary, Rutin can exert an antioxidant effect by regulating PPARγ and shows therapeutic action against LN.

Abstract
The use of engineered nanoparticles against pathogenic bacteria has gained attention. In this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles conjugated with rutin were synthesized and their antivirulence properties against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The physicochemical characteristics of ZnO-Rutin NPs were investigated using SEM, FT-IR, XRD, DLS, EDS, and zeta potential analyses. Antimicrobial properties were evaluated by well diffusion, microdilution, growth curve, and hemolytic activity assays. The expression of quorum sensing (QS) genes including the lasI and rhlI in P. aeruginosa and agrA in S. aureus was assessed using real-time PCR. Swimming, swarming, twitching, and pyocyanin production by P. aeruginosa were evaluated. The NPs were amorphous, 14-100 nm in diameter, surface charge of -34.3 mV, and an average hydrodynamic size of 161.7 nm. Regarding the antibacterial activity, ZnO-Rutin NPs were more potent than ZnO NPs and rutin, and stronger inhibitory effects were observed on S. aureus than on P. aeruginosa. ZnO-Rutin NPs inhibited the hemolytic activity of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus by 93.4 and 92.2%, respectively, which was more efficient than bare ZnO NPs and rutin. ZnO-Rutin NPs reduced the expression of the lasI and rhlI in P. aeruginosa by 0.17-0.43 and 0.37-0.70 folds, respectively while the expression of the agrA gene in S. aureus was decreased by 0.46-0.56 folds. Furthermore, ZnO-Rutin NPs significantly reduced the swimming and twitching motility and pyocyanin production of P. aeruginosa. This study demonstrates the antivirulence features of ZnO-Rutin NPs against pathogenic bacteria which can be associated with their QS inhibitory effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vortioxetine (VORTX) is a potent and selective type of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that is mainly prescribed for treating major depression along with mood disorders as the first drug of choice. Limited previous findings have indicated evidence of liver injury and hepatotoxicity associated with daily VORTX treatment. Rutin (RUT), which is known for its antioxidant properties, has demonstrated several beneficial health actions, including hepatoprotection. Therefore the current study aimed to evaluate and assess the ameliorative effect of RUT against the hepatotoxic actions of daily low and high-dose VORTX administration. METHODS The experimental design included six groups of rats, each divided equally. Control, rats exposed to RUT (25 mg/kg), rats exposed to VORTX (28 mg/kg), rats exposed to VORTX (28 mg/kg) + RUT (25 mg/kg), rats exposed to VORTX (80 mg/kg), and rats exposed to VORTX (80 mg/kg) + RUT (25 mg/kg). After 30 days from the daily exposure period, assessments were conducted for serum liver enzyme activities, hepatotoxicity biomarkers, liver antioxidant endogenous enzymes, DNA fragmentation, and histopathological studies of liver tissue. RESULTS Interestingly, the risk of liver damage and hepatotoxicity related to VORTX was attenuated by the daily co-administration of RUT. Significant improvements were observed among all detected liver functions, oxidative stress, and inflammatory biomarkers including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), albumin, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH), glutathione S-transferase (GST), total protein, acid phosphatase, N-Acetyl-/β-glucosaminidase (β-NAG), β-Galactosidase (β-Gal), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), caspase 3, and cytochrom-C along with histopathological studies, compared to the control and sole RUT group. CONCLUSION Thus, RUT can be considered a potential and effective complementary therapy in preventing hepatotoxicity and liver injury induced by the daily or prolonged administration of VORTX.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In diabetic liver injury, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease. Rutin is a bioflavonoid produced by the hydrolysis of glucosidases to quercetin. Its biological activities include lowering blood glucose, regulating insulin secretion, regulating dyslipidemia, and exerting anti-inflammatory effects have been demonstrated. However, its effect on diabetic NAFLD is rarely reported. PURPOSE Our study aimed to investigate the protective effects of Rutin on diabetic NAFLD and potential pharmacological mechanism. METHODS We used db/db mice as the animal model to investigate diabetic NAFLD. Oleic acid-treated (OA) HeLa cells were examined whether Rutin had the ability to ameliorate lipid accumulation. HepG2 cells treated with 30 mM/l d-glucose and palmitic acid (PA) were used as diabetic NAFLD in vitro models. Total cholesterol (TC) and Triglycerides (TG) levels were determined. Oil red O staining and BODIPY 493/503 were used to detect lipid deposition within cells. The indicators of inflammation and oxidative stress were detected. The mechanism of Rutin in diabetic liver injury with NAFLD was analyzed using RNA-sequence and 16S rRNA, and the expression of fat-synthesizing proteins in the 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway was investigated. Compound C inhibitors were used to further verify the relationship between AMPK and Rutin in diabetic NAFLD. RESULTS Rutin ameliorated lipid accumulation in OA-treated HeLa. In in vitro and in vivo models of diabetic NAFLD, Rutin alleviated lipid accumulation, inflammation, and oxidative stress. 16S analysis showed that Rutin could reduce gut microbiota dysregulation, such as the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes. RNA-seq showed that the significantly differentially genes were mainly related to liver lipid metabolism. And the ameliorating effect of Rutin on diabetic NAFLD was through AMPK/SREBP1 pathway and the related lipid synthesis proteins was involved in this process. CONCLUSION Rutin ameliorated diabetic NAFLD by activating the AMPK pathway and Rutin might be a potential new drug ingredient for diabetic NAFLD.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system that injures the myelin sheath, provoking progressive axonal degeneration and functional impairments. No efficient therapy is available at present to combat such insults, and hence, novel safe and effective alternatives for MS therapy are extremely required. Rutin (RUT) is a flavonoid that exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects in several brain injuries. The present study evaluated the potential beneficial effects of two doses of RUT in a model of pattern-III lesion of MS, in comparison to the conventional standard drug; dimethyl fumarate (DMF). Demyelination was induced in in male adult C57BL/6 mice by dietary 0.2% (w/w) cuprizone (CPZ) feeding for 6 consecutive weeks. Treated groups received either oral RUT (50 or 100 mg/kg) or DMF (15 mg/kg), along with CPZ feeding, for 6 consecutive weeks. Mice were then tested for behavioral changes, followed by biochemical analyses and histological examinations of the corpus callosum (CC). Results revealed that CPZ caused motor dysfunction, demyelination, and glial activation in demyelinated lesions, as well as significant oxidative stress, and proinflammatory cytokine elevation. Six weeks of RUT treatment significantly improved locomotor activity and motor coordination. Moreover, RUT considerably improved remyelination in the CC of CPZ + RUT-treated mice, as revealed by luxol fast blue staining and transmission electron microscopy. Rutin also significantly attenuated CPZ-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in the CC of tested animals. The effect of RUT100 was obviously more marked than either that of DMF, regarding most of the tested parameters, or even its smaller tested dose. In silico docking revealed that RUT binds tightly within NF-κB at the binding site of the protein-DNA complex, with a good negative score of -6.79 kcal/mol. Also, RUT-Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) model clarifies the possible inhibition of Keap1-Nrf2 protein-protein interaction. Findings of the current study provide evidence for the protective effect of RUT in CPZ-induced demyelination and behavioral dysfunction in mice, possibly by modulating NF-κB and Nrf2 signaling pathways. The present study may be one of the first to indicate a pro-remyelinating effect for RUT, which might represent a potential additive benefit in treating MS.

Abstract
The potential inhibitory effects of flavonoids on gonadal steroid biosynthesis have gained attention due to their widespread presence in natural plant sources. Specifically, our study focused on evaluating the inhibitory efficacy of these compounds on human 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (h3β-HSD2) and rat homolog r3β-HSD1, enzymes responsible for the conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone. Through our investigations, we observed that the potency of flavonoids was silymarin (IC50, 1.31 μM) > luteolin (4.63 μM) > tectorigenin > (5.86 μM), and rutin (44.12 μM) in inhibiting human KGN cell microsomal h3β-HSD2. Similarly, the potency of flavonoids was silymarin (9.50 μM) > luteolin (11.49 μM) > tectorigenin (14.06 μM), and rutin (145.71 μM) in inhibiting rat testicular r3β-HSD1. Silymarin, luteolin, and tectorigenin acted as mixed inhibitors of both human and rat 3β-HSDs. Luteolin and tectorigenin were able to penetrate human KGN cells to inhibit progesterone secretion. Furthermore, docking analysis and structure-activity relationship analysis highlighted the importance of hydrogen bond formation for the inhibitory efficacy of these compounds against h3β-HSD2 and r3β-HSD1. Overall, this study demonstrates that silymarin exhibits the most potent inhibition of human and rat gonadal 3β-HSDs, and significant SAR differences exist among the tested compounds.

Abstract
Fluoride is known to induce nephrotoxicity; however, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Therefore, this study aims to explore the roles and mechanisms of lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and the GSDME/HMGB1 axis in fluoride-induced nephrotoxicity and the protective effects of rutin. Rutin, a naturally occurring flavonoid compound known for its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties, is primarily mediated by inhibiting oxidative stress and reducing proinflammatory markers. To that end, we established in vivo and in vitro models. In the in vivo study, rats were exposed to sodium fluoride (NaF) throughout pregnancy and up until 2 months after birth. In parallel, we employed in vitro models using HK-2 cells treated with NaF, n-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), or rutin. We assessed lysosomal permeability through immunofluorescence and analyzed relevant protein expression via western blotting. Our findings showed that NaF exposure increased ROS levels, resulting in enhanced LMP and increased cathepsin B (CTSB) and D (CTSD) expression. Furthermore, the exposure to NaF resulted in the upregulation of cleaved PARP1, cleaved caspase-3, GSDME-N, and HMGB1 expressions, indicating cell death and inflammation-induced renal damage. Rutin mitigates fluoride-induced nephrotoxicity by suppressing ROS-mediated LMP and the GSDME/HMGB1 axis, ultimately preventing fluoride-induced renal toxicity occurrence and development. In conclusion, our findings suggest that NaF induces renal damage through ROS-mediated activation of LMP and the GSDME/HMGB1 axis, leading to pyroptosis and inflammation. Rutin, a natural antioxidative and anti-inflammatory dietary supplement, offers a novel approach to prevent and treat fluoride-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) participates in numerous signalling pathways and regulates various physiological processes. Due to its unique structural features and promising therapeutic potential, CDK6 has emerged as a drug target for designing and developing small-molecule inhibitors for anti-cancer therapeutics and other CDK6-associated diseases. The current study evaluates binding affinity and the inhibitory potential of rutin for CDK6 to develop a proof of concept for rutin as a potent CDK6 inhibitor. Molecular docking and 200 ns all-atom simulations reveal that rutin binds to the active site pocket of CDK6, forming interactions with key residues of the binding pocket. In addition, the CDK6-rutin complex remains stable throughout the simulation trajectory. A high binding constant (Ka = 7.6 × 105M-1) indicates that rutin has a strong affinity for CDK6. Isothermal titration calorimetry has further validated a strong binding of rutin with CDK6 and its spontaneous nature. The kinase activity of CDK6 is significantly inhibited by rutin with an IC50 value of 3.10 μM. Our findings highlight the significant role of rutin in developing potential therapeutic molecules to manage cancer and CDK6-associated diseases via therapeutic targeting of CDK6.

Abstract
Postprandial hyperglycemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, and the impact of tea polyphenols (TP) and rutin, representative phenolic compounds with different water solubilities, on the postprandial glycemic response to cooked normal corn starch (CCS) was investigated. Comparatively, TP (DPPH50 = 0.12 mmol L-1) are more potent than rutin (DPPH50 = 0.50 mmol L-1) in scavenging the free radicals of DPPH, but both TP and rutin inhibited the activity of porcine pancreatic α-amylase (PPA), the major enzyme in starch digestion, with an IC50 of 4.09 mmol L-1 and 2.71 mmol L-1, respectively. However, an in vivo study showed that a significant reduction in postprandial blood glucose was only observed in the presence of rutin, and TP had no effect on the glycemic response to CCS. To find out the underlying mechanism, fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking were carried out and they showed that, compared to TP, rutin bound to the active site of PPA with higher affinity and a lower free energy (ΔG) driven by hydrogen bonds and π-stacking, and rutin also greatly increased the viscosity of starch. Collectively, water-soluble TP have a higher antioxidant property and a lower potency to inhibit PPA compared to water-insoluble rutin, and the weaker interaction between TP and PPA, and starch as well might synergistically contribute to TP's ineffectiveness in lowering the postprandial glycemic response, and water solubility linking the molecular structures and functions of phenolic compounds might be the fundamental basis for the observed difference in their biological functions, and water solubility can also be used to enrich specific phenolic compounds for desired functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiation triggers salivary gland damage and excess iron accumulates in tissues induces cell injury. Flavonoids are found in some fruits and are utilized as potent antioxidants and radioprotective agents. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of hesperidin and rutin on gamma radiation and iron overload induced submandibular gland (SMG) damage and to evaluate their possible impact on mitigating the alteration in mTOR signaling pathway and angiogenesis. METHODS Forty-eight adult male Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned to six groups: group C received a standard diet and distilled water; group H received hesperidin at a dose of 100 mg/kg; four times a week for four weeks; group U received rutin at a dose of 50 mg/kg; three times a week for three weeks; group RF received a single dose (5 Gy) of gamma radiation followed by iron at a dose of 100 mg/kg; five times a week for four weeks; group RFH received radiation and iron as group RF and hesperidin as group H; group RFU received radiation and iron as group RF and rutin as group U. SMG specimens from all groups were removed at the end of the experiment; and some were used for biochemical analysis, while others were fixed for histological and immunohistochemical examination. RESULTS In the RF group, several genes related to antioxidants (Nrf-2 and SOD) and DNA damage (BRCA1) were significantly downregulated, while several genes related to inflammation and angiogenesis (TNFα, IL-1β and VEGF) and the mTOR signaling pathway (PIK3ca, AKT and mTOR) were significantly upregulated. Acinar cytoplasmic vacuolation, nuclear pyknosis, and interacinar hemorrhage with distinct interacinar spaces were observed as histopathological changes in SMGs. The duct system suffered significant damage, eventually degenerating entirely as the cells were shed into the lumina. VEGF and NF-κB were also significantly overexpressed. Hesperidin and rutin cotreatment generated partial recovery as indicated by significant upregulation of Nrf-2, SOD and BRCA1 and considerable downregulation of TNF-α, IL-1β, VEGF, PIK3ca, AKT, and mTOR. Although some acini and ducts continued to deteriorate, most of them had a normal appearance. There was a notable decrease in the expression of VEGF and NF-κB. CONCLUSIONS In γ-irradiated rats with iron overload, the administration of hesperidin and rutin may mitigate salivary gland damage.

Abstract
The neurotoxic impact of dietary exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is well documented in experimental studies. Rutin is a phytochemical with prominent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. There is an information gap on the influence of rutin on AFB1-induced neurotoxicity. This study investigated the influence of rutin on neurobehavioral and biochemical abnormalities in male Wistar rats (six weeks old) orally treated with AFB1 (0.75, and 1.5 mg/kg body weight) or co-administered with rutin (50 mg/kg) for 30 uninterrupted days. Results indicate that AFB1-induced depression-like behavior by Tail Suspension Test (TST) and cognitive impairment by Y-maze was abated following rutin co-administration. Abatement of AFB1-induced decreases in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, and increased antioxidant status, by rutin was accompanied by a marked reduction in oxidative stress markers and increased hydrolysis of the purinergic molecules in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of rats. Additionally, rutin co-treatment abrogated AFB1-mediated elevation of interleukin-6 (IL-6), nitric oxide (NO) levels, and activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO). Correspondingly, rutin co-treatment lowered the activity and immunocontent of immunosuppressive indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO). Further, rutin co-treatment prevented histological injuries in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. In conclusion, abatement of AFB1-induced neurobehavioral abnormalities by rutin involves the mechanisms of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and regulation of cholinergic, purinergic, and indoleaminergic pathways in rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study is analysisof the seeds of buckwheat (Fagopyrum sp.),member of the Polygonaceae family for isolation of rutin and its anticancer property againstOsteosarcoma celllines (SAOS2). The selected plant is traditionally used for diabetes and cancer. It has several biological properties such as antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-aging. PURPOSE Thirty-five buckwheat cultivars were obtained from Nepal Agriculture Genetic Resources Centre (NAGRC) Khumaltar, Kathmandu, Nepal, and Kumrek Sikkim. These plant varieties are scientifically evaluated their biological properties. METHODS Rutin wasfractionated from buckwheat seeds using methanol fraction and analysed for quality by HPLC method. The rutin fraction of the cultivar NGRC03731 a tartary buck wheat and standard rutin was used against Osteosarcoma cell lines (SAOS2) and human gingival fibroblast cells (hGFs) for anticancer activity. The cell viability using rutin fraction and standard rutin treated with SAOS2 cells were assessed by MTT assay. For further research, the best doses (IC-50: 20 g/ml) were applied. By using AO/EtBr dual staining, the effects of Rutin fraction on SAOS2 cell death were analysed. The scratch wound healing assay was used to analyse cell migration. Real-time PCR was used to analyse the pro-/anti-apoptotic gene expression. RESULTS The seeds with the highest rutin content, NGRC03731 seeds, had 433 mg/100 g of rutin.The rutin fraction treatment and standard rutin significantly reduced cell viability in the MTT assay, and osteosarcoma cells were observed on sensitive to the IC-50 dose at a concentration of 20 g/ml after 24 h.The SAOS2 cells exposed to rutin fraction at 20 g/ml and standard rutin at 10 g/ml exhibited significant morphological alterations, cell shrinkage and decreased cell density, which indicate apoptotic cells.Rutin-fraction treated cells stained with acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EtBr) dual staining cells turned yellow, orange, and red which indicatesto measure apoptosis.The anti-migration potential of rutin fraction, results prevented the migration of SAOS2 cancer cells.Rutin-fraction significantly increased the expression of pro-apoptotic proteinsBad, using real-time PCR analysis (mRNA for Bcl-2 family proteins) resulted Bcl-2's expression is negatively regulated. CONCLUSION Osteosarcoma (SAOS2) cell lines' proliferation, migration, and ability to proliferate were reduced markedly by rutin fraction and it also causes apoptosis of Osteosarcoma cell lines (SAOS2).

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are an important source of cells for bone regeneration. Although the utilization of MSCs along with growth factors and scaffolds is a beneficial clinical approach for bone tissue engineering, there is need for improvement on the effectiveness of MSC osteogenesis and differentiation. Rutin is a natural flavonoid and a major component for cell proliferation and bone development. However, studies on the mechanism through which rutin regulates osteogenesis and MSC differentiation are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanisms of rutin on osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. MSCs were extracted from umbilical cords and treated with rutin, followed by the examination of osteogenesis-related markers. Rutin treatment promoted the differentiation of MSCs towards the osteogenic lineage rather than the adipogenic lineage and increased the expression of osteogenic markers. RNA sequencing and bioinformatic analysis indicated that rutin regulated p53, a key gene in regulating the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Additionally, cellular experiments showed that rutin-induced decrease in p53 expression increased the formation of extracellular matrix (ECM) by promoting p65 phosphorylation and caspase-3 cleavage. Conclusively, this study demonstrates the importance of rutin in osteogenesis and indicates that rutin possesses potential pharmaceutical application for bone regeneration and bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Objectives Flavonoids comprise a huge class of phenolic compounds widely distributed throughout the plant kingdom. Although quercetin and rutin have been studied individually for their therapeutic value, the synergistic effect of combining the two has previously not been measured. The objective of this trial was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of both quercetin and rutin when combined in the form of SophorOx™ (a proprietary preparation of quercetin-rutin) in exercised rats. Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were orally administered SophorOx™ at 500 mg·kg-1·b.w. and subjected to daily exercise on a fabricated treadmill for 4 weeks. A total of 24 animals were randomly divided into four groups. All the animals were examined for body weight, feed consumption, signs of clinical abnormalities, and morbidity. In addition, serum collected on days 8, 15, 22, and 29 were measured for the liver function test (LFT), random blood sugar (RBS), inflammatory markers C-reactive protein (CRP), oxidative stress markers (8-isoprostane (8-iso-PGF2α), malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), and cytokine levels interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)) by the ELISA method. Results Rats that received SophorOx™ showed no signs of adverse effects, and no significant changes were observed in body weight, feed consumption, liver enzymes, and blood glucose levels. The exercise-treated rats administered with SophorOx™ exhibited a significant reduction in oxidative and inflammatory marker levels, viz., CRP (113.32 ng·mL-1) and oxidative stress markers 8-OHdG (19.32 pg·mL-1), MDA (1.06 nmol·mL-1), 8-iso-PGF2α (1.29 ng·mL-1), IL-1β (0.77 pg·mL-1), and IL-6 (317.14 pg·mL-1) in comparison to those rodents that were exercised without SophorOx™. Conclusion Oral administration of SophorOx™ significantly reduced oxidative stress and inflammatory marker levels when measured in the rodents subjected to high-intensity exercise.

Abstract
A major issue in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research is to find some new therapeutic drug which decrease Amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregation. From a therapeutic point of view the major question is whether pharmacological inhibition of inflammation pathways will be able to safely reverse or slow the course of disease. Natural compounds are capable of binding to different targets implicated in AD and exert neuroprotective effects. Aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro inhibition of Aβ1-42 fibrillogenesis in presence of Gallic acid, Rutin, Melatonin and ProvinolsTM . We performed the analysis with Transmission and Scanning Electron Microscopy, and with X-ray microanalysis. Samples treated with Rutin, that arises from phenylalanine via the phenylpropanoid pathway, show the best effective result obtained because a significantly fibril inhibition activity is detectable compared to the other compounds. Melatonin shows a better inhibitory activity than ProvinolsTM and Gallic acid at the considered concentrations.

Abstract
This article reviews the source and properties of rutin (vitamin P), its general physiological and medicinal effects and their mechanisms, but the main subject of it is the currently available knowledge concerning the character and mechanisms of action of rutin on female reproductive processes. The available data demonstrate the stimulatory action of rutin on female reproductive processes: it can promote ovarian follicles development and ovulation, ovarian cyclicity, and viability of ovarian cells. On the other hand, it can suppress ovarian cancer cell and tumour development by inhibition of cell proliferation and growth and activation of their apoptosis and death. Furthermore, it could be able to prevent other reproductive disorders (ischaemia, polycystic ovarian syndrome, toxic effects of chemotherapy, nanoparticles and toluene). Rutin could exert its effects via changes in the release and reception of gonadotropin, ovarian steroid hormones, prostaglandins, cytokines, VEGF, as well as in intracellular regulators and markers of oxidative and inflammatory processes, proliferation, apoptosis and angiogenesis.

Abstract
Non-specifically binding of aluminum to various substances in the organism can result in toxicity. The accumulation of large amounts of aluminum can cause an imbalance in metal homeostasis and interfere with the synthesis and release of neurotransmitters. Flavonoids have strong metal chelating activity, which can reduce damage to the central nervous system. The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effect of three representative flavonoids, rutin, puerarin and silymarin, on the brain toxicity induced by long-term exposure to aluminum trichloride (AlCl3). Sixty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into eight groups (n = 8). The rats in six intervention groups were given 100 or 200 mg/kg BW/day of three different flavonoids for four weeks after a 4-week exposure to 281.40 mg/kg BW/day AlCl3·6H2O, while the rats in the AlCl3-toxicity and control groups were given the vehicle after the period of AlCl3 exposure. The results showed that rutin, puerarin, and silymarin could increase the concentrations of magnesium, iron, and zinc in the brains of the rats. Moreover, the intake of these three flavonoids regulated the homeostasis of amino acid neurotransmitters and adjusted the concentrations of monoamine neurotransmitters to normal levels. Taken together, our data suggest that rutin, puerarin, and silymarin could ameliorate AlCl3-induced brain toxicity in the rats by regulating imbalance of metal elements and neurotransmitters in the brains of rats.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide (CP) is broadly used to kill various tumor cells; however, its repeated uses have been reported to cause reproductive dysfunction and infertility. Natural flavonoid, rutin (RUT), possesses strong antioxidant and antiapoptotic activity that is attributed to ameliorate the reproductive dysfunction induced by CP. Many previous studies proved that the formulation of flavonoids in nanoemulsion has a promising perspective in mitigating the side effects of chemotherapy. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to investigate the ameliorative effects of RUT and RUT-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (RUT-CH NPs) against CP-induced reproductive dysfunction in male rats. For this aim, thirty-six male albino rats were randomly allocated into six groups as follows: control, RUT, RUT-CH NPs, CP, CP + RUT, and CP + RUT-CH NPs. In the CP groups, a single intraperitoneal injection of CP (150 mg/kg bwt) was administered on the first day of the experiment. RUT and RUT-CH NPs were orally administered either alone or with CP injection at a dose of 10 mg/kg bwt per day for 60 days. The results revealed that CP administration caused significant testicular oxidative stress damage through increasing the nitric oxide and malondialdehyde levels as well as decreasing the total antioxidant capacity and reduced glutathione contents. It also impaired spermatogenesis and steroidogenesis via altering the transcription levels of CYP11A1, HSD-3b, StAR, Bax, bcl-2, and Nrf-2 genes. Otherwise, the oral intake of either RUT or RUT-CH NPs with CP injection effectively attenuated these alterations and significantly improved the microscopic appearance of testicular tissue. In conclusion, this study highlights the potential of RUT either free or NPs in mitigating CP-induced testicular dysfunction via its antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neuroinflammation following peripheral surgery plays a key role in postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) development and there is no effective therapy to inflammation-mediated cognitive impairment. Recent studies showed that rutin, a natural flavonoid compound, conferred neuroprotection. However, the effects and mechanisms of rutin on cognition of surgical and aged mice and LPS-induced BV2 need deeper exploration. METHODS The effect of rutin in vivo and vitro were evaluated by Morris water maze test, HE stainin, Golgi-Cox staining, IF, IHC, RT-PCR, Flow Cytometer and Western blotting. In vivo, aged mice were treated with rutin and surgery. In vitro, rutin, Nrf2 knockdown, MAC-1 overexpression and VX765, a caspase-1 inhibitor, were administration on BV2 microglial cells. RESULTS Surgery led to compensatory increase in nuclear Nrf2 and rutin could further increase it. Neural damage was accompanied with high level in MAC-1, caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis and M1 microglia, while rutin recovered the process. Nrf2 inhibition abolished the effect of rutin with the increase of MAC-1, caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis and M1 microglia. Activation of MAC-1 abrogated protection of rutin by increase in pyroptosis and M1 microglia. Finally, we found that treatment with VX765 improved injury and increased M2 microglia against overexpression of MAC-1. CONCLUSIONS Our study indicated that rutin may be a potential therapy in POCD and exerted neural protection via Nrf2/ Mac-1/ caspase-1-mediated inflammasome axis to regulate pyroptosis and microglial polarization.

Abstract
Recent discoveries have shown that enteric glial cells play an important role in different neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), which is characterized by motor dysfunctions caused by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substance nigra pars compacta and non-motor symptoms including gastrointestinal dysfunction. In this study, we investigated the modulatory effects of the flavonoid rutin on the behavior and myenteric plexuses in a PD animal model and the response of enteric glia. Adult male Wistar rats were submitted to stereotaxic injection with 6-hydroxydopamine or saline, and they were untreated or treated with rutin (10 mg/kg) for 14 days. The ileum was collected to analyze tissue reactivity and immunohistochemistry for neurons (HuC/HuD) and enteric glial cells (S100β) in the myenteric plexuses. Behavioral tests demonstrated that treatment with rutin improved the motor capacity of parkinsonian animals and improved intestinal transit without interfering with the cell population; rutin treatment modulated the reactivity of the ileal musculature through muscarinic activation, reducing relaxation through the signaling pathway of nitric oxide donors, and increased the longitudinal contractility of the colon musculature in parkinsonian animals. Rutin revealed modulatory activities on the myenteric plexus, bringing relevant answers regarding the effect of the flavonoid in this system and the potential application of PD adjuvant treatment.

Abstract
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a persistent environmental pollutant that can accumulate in the kidneys and eventually cause kidney damage. Rutin (RUTIN) is a natural flavonoid with multiple biological activities, and its use in against kidney damage has been widely studied in recent years. It is not yet known whether rutin protects against kidney damage caused by PFOA. In this study, 30 ICR mice were randomly divided into three groups: CTRL group, PFOA group and PFOA+RUTIN group. The mice were fed continuously by gavage for 28 days. Renal pathological changes were assessed by HE and PASM staining, and serum renal function and lipid indicators were measured. RNA-seq and enrichment analysis using GO, KEGG and PPI to detect differential expression of genes in treatment groups. Kidney tissue protein expression was determined by Western blot. Research has shown that rutin can improve glomerular and tubular structural damage, and increase serum CREA, HDL-C levels and decrease LDH, LDL-C levels. The expression of AQP1 and ACOT1 was up-regulated after rutin treatment. Transcriptomic analysis indicated that PFOA and rutin affect the transcriptional expression of genes related to lipid metabolism and oxidative stress, and may affected by PI3K-Akt, PPAR, NRF2/KEAP1 signaling pathways. In conclusion, rutin ameliorated renal damage caused by PFOA exposure, and this protective effect may be exerted by ameliorating oxidative stress and regulating lipid metabolism.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effect of rutin on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) under ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) conditions and the underlying mechanisms involving microglia polarization and JAK/STAT3 signaling. RGCs isolated from C57/Bl6 mice were co-cultured with BV2 microglial cells under normal or in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R) conditions. Rutin's effects were evaluated by assessing cell viability, apoptosis rates, cytokine levels, microglial polarization markers and JAK/STAT3 phosphorylation levels. The specific target is confirmed through the inhibitory effect of rutin on the respectively activated signaling factors. Furthermore, molecular docking analyses elucidated rutin-JAK1 interactions. OGD/R conditions significantly reduced RGC viability, exacerbated by BV2 co-culture. However, both 1 μM and 5 μM rutin treatment dose-dependently enhanced RGC viability, reduced apoptosis, and suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokine levels. Western blot analysis indicated that rutin promoted the M2 microglial phenotype and suppressed JAK/STAT3 signaling. Notably, rutin selectively inhibited JAK1 phosphorylation without affecting STAT3. Molecular docking highlighted potential interaction sites between rutin and specific JAK1 pseudokinase domain. Rutin exerts neuroprotective effects against retinal I/R injury by promoting M2 microglial polarization, potentially through the selective inhibition of JAK1 phosphorylation within the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway. These findings provide a foundation for the therapeutic potential of rutin in retinal I/R injuries.

Abstract
Aging is a major risk factor for most chronic disorders, for which cellular senescence is one of the central hallmarks. Senescent cells develop the pro-inflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which significantly contributes to organismal aging and age-related disorders. Development of senotherapeutics, an emerging class of therapeutic agents to target senescent cells, allows to effectively delay aging and alleviate chronic pathologies. Here we report preliminary outputs from screening of a natural medicinal agent (NMA) library for senotherapeutic candidates and validated several agents with prominent potential as senomorphics. Rutin, a phytochemical constituent found in a number of plants, showed remarkable capacity in targeting senescent cells by dampening expression of the full spectrum SASP. Further analysis indicated that rutin restrains the acute stress-associated phenotype (ASAP) by specifically interfering with the interactions of ATM with HIF1α, a master regulator of cellular and systemic homeostasis activated during senescence, and of ATM with TRAF6, part of a key signaling axis supporting the ASAP development toward the SASP. Conditioned media produced by senescent stromal cells enhanced the malignant phenotypes of prostate cancer cells, including in vitro proliferation, migration, invasion, and more importantly, chemoresistance, while rutin remarkably downregulated these gain-of-functions. Although classic chemotherapy reduced tumor progression, the treatment outcome was substantially improved upon combination of a chemotherapeutic agent with rutin. Our study provides a proof of concept for rutin as an emerging natural senomorphic agent, and presents an effective therapeutic avenue for alleviating age-related pathologies including cancer.

Abstract
With the advancements of high throughput computational screening procedures, drug repurposing became the privileged framework for drug discovery. The structure-based drug discovery is the widely used method of drug repurposing, consisting of computational screening of compounds and testing them in-vitro. This current method of repurposing leaves room for mechanistic insights into how these screened hits interact with and influence their targets. We addressed this gap in the current study by integrating highly sensitive biophysical methods into existing computational repurposing methods. We also corroborated our computational and biophysical findings on H37Rv for the anti-mycobacterial action of selected drugs in-vitro and ex-vivo conditions. Atosiban and Rutin were screened as highly interacting hits against HemD through multi-stage docking and were cross-validated in biophysical studies. The affinity of these drugs (K ~ 106 M-1) was quantified using fluorescence quenching studies. Differential Scanning Fluorimetry (DSF) and urea-based chemical denaturation studies revealed a destabilizing effect of these drugs on target which was further validated using MD simulations. Conformational rearrangements of secondary structures were established using CD spectra and intrinsic fluorescence. Furthermore, Atosiban and Rutin inhibited M.tb growth in-vitro and ex-vivo while remaining non-toxic to mice peritoneal macrophages.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GB) has susceptibility to post-surgical recurrence. Therefore, local treatment methods are required against recurrent GB cells in the post-surgical area. In this study, we developed a nanofiber-based local therapy against GB cells using Oleuropein (OL), and rutin and their combinations with Temozolomide (TMZ). The polylactic acid (PLA) core-shell nanofiber webs were encapsulated with OL (PLAOL), rutin (PLArutin), and TMZ (PLATMZ) by an electrospinning process. A SEM visualized the morphology and the total immersion method determined the release characteristics of PLA webs. Real-time cell tracking analysis for cell growth, dual Acridine Orange/Propidium Iodide staining for cell viability, a scratch wound healing assay for migration capacity, and a sphere formation assay for tumor spheroid aggressiveness were used. All polymeric nanofiber webs had core-shell structures with an average diameter between 133 ± 30.7-139 ± 20.5 nm. All PLA webs promoted apoptotic cell death, suppressed cell migration, and spheres growth (p < 0.0001). PLAOL and PLATMZ suppressed GB cell viability with a controlled release that increased over 120 h, while PLArutin caused rapid cell inhibition (p < 0.0001). Collectively, our findings suggest that core-shell nano-webs could be a novel and effective therapeutic tool for the controlled release of OL and TMZ against recurrent GB cells.

Abstract
Neurodegeneration, a process of irreversible neuronal damage, is characterized by a damaged neuronal structure and function. The interplay between various proteins maintains homeostasis of essential metals in the brain, shielding neurons from degeneration; human transferrin (Htf) is essential in maintaining iron homeostasis. Any disruption in iron homeostasis results in the development of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) and their pathology, mainly Alzheimer's disease (AD). Rutin is a known compound for its neuroprotective effects. In this work, we deciphered the binding of rutin with Htf in a bid to understand the interaction mechanism. The results of fluorescence and UV-vis spectroscopy demonstrated strong interaction between rutin and Htf. The enthalpy change (∆H°) and entropy change (∆S°) analysis demonstrated hydrophobic interactions as the prevalent forces. The binding mechanism of rutin was further assessed atomistically by molecular docking and extensive 200 ns molecular dynamic simulation (MD) studies; molecular docking showed binding of rutin within Htf's binding pocket. MD results suggested that binding of rutin to Htf does not cause significant structural switching or disruption of the protein's native packing. Overall, the study deciphers the binding of rutin with hTf, delineating the binding mechanism and providing a platform to use rutin in NDs therapeutics.

Abstract
Caenorhabditis elegans and D-Gal-induced aging mouse model were used to investigate the anti-aging effect of rutin. The effects of different concentrations of rutin (0, 12.5, 25, and 50 μg/mL) on locomotor behavior, reproductive rate, and lifespan of C. elegans were determined. For establishing the aging mouse model, D-Gal (200 mg/kg) was subcutaneously injected into the back of mice, and mice were treated with rutin (200 mg/kg). At the end of treatment, memory and motor function was assessed by nest building test, open field test, and Y-maze. Serum and brain tissue were collected from each mouse to examine the ROS, lipofuscin, MDA, GSH-Px, and SOD levels. The results showed that rutin prolonged the lifespan of C. elegans, and increased the number of eggs of C. elegans (p < 0.05). In addition, rutin significantly improved the exercise capacity in mice (p < 0.05) and significantly reduced brain tissue ROS (p < 0.05) and MDA (p < 0.01) levels. Meanwhile, rutin could enhance the activity of SOD (p < 0.05) and GSH-Px (p < 0.01) significantly in the serum and brain. In summary, rutin exhibits anti-senescence capabilities which could be ascribed to its antioxidant activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Jueyin granules (JYG) is effective against psoriasis, but its utility components are not clear. Rutin is the main monomer of JYG, its therapeutic effect and mechanism on psoriasis need to be further clarified. PURPOSE To explore the potential mechanisms of rutin on psoriasis through network pharmacology and experiments. METHODS In vitro, cell viability was determined using the CCK8 assay, and inflammatory factors were identified using RT-qPCR. The hub genes and kernel pathways of action were identified by modular pharmacology analysis. In vivo, a BALB/c mice model of psoriasis was induced by Imiquimod (IMQ). The therapeutic effect and action pathway were detected through Western Blotting, RT-qPCR, histopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis. RESULTS Rutin inhibited cell proliferation and expression of TNF-α and IL-6 in HaCaT cells. The hub genes include APP, INS, and TNF, while the kernel pathways contain the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway. In IMQ-induced psoriasis-like mice, rutin ameliorated skin lesions and inhibited cell proliferation. Rutin could attenuate inflammation by downregulating the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway. CONCLUSION This study suggests that rutin can reduce IMQ-induced psoriasis like skin inflammation in mice, and regulation of AGE-RAGE signaling pathway may be one of its potential anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Rutin has a promising therapeutic use for the treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
By-products from plant sources are recently regarded as a valuable source of bioactive compounds. In this regard, the present study aims to assess the bioactivities of the 70 % MeOH extract obtained from Vicia faba peels and analyze its metabolomic profile. Acetylcholinesterase and carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes inhibitory activities of the plant extract were assayed using quantitative colorimetric tests. Antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH assay, and cytotoxic activity was evaluated against normal fibroblast skin cells (1-BJ1). Ninety-one metabolites were tentatively identified using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) hyphenated with quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (QTOF-MS). Most of these compounds were described for the first time in the plant. In addition, catechin, rutin, quercitrin, and rhamnetin were isolated from the plant extract. The plant extract and the isolated compounds possessed no cytotoxic activity on (1-BJ1), while they exhibited anticholinesterase with the highest activity for 70 % MeOH extract (IC50 =120.11 mg/L), antioxidant potential with the highest activity for rutin (90.54±0.73 %), and carbohydrate metabolizing inhibitory activities with the highest activity for rutin. These discoveries imply that V. faba peels might serve as an efficient antioxidant, exhibit anticholinesterase properties, and have the potential for use in managing diabetes, all while avoiding cytotoxicity in normal cells.

Abstract
Rutin, a flavonoid glycoside phytochemical compound, has a remarkable antiobesity effect. However, its therapeutic potential is hindered by its poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability. In this study, rutin was loaded into liposomes (LR) through the self-assembly of lecithin and cholesterol. It was discovered that liposomes improved the water solubility and cellular uptake of rutin in adipocytes. These rutin-loaded liposomes were then incorporated into a microneedle patch (MP) system formed by polyvinylpyrrolidone and poly(vinyl alcohol), and the MP-LR showed an increased release percentage in the adipose tissue microenvironment of pH 6.5 and achieved local delivery of rutin into adipocytes. Next, the therapeutic potentials of rutin, LR, and MP-LR were investigated in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mouse model. The MP-LR formulation decreased the weight of the HFD mice the most significantly. The antilipogenesis mechanisms of MP-LR are downregulating the lipid synthesis-related proteins (PPAR γ and C/EBP α) in adipocytes and promoting the expression of the beige adipogenesis-related proteins (UCP 1 and Cyt C). The MP systems further promote the local penetration of LR into the adipose tissue specifically, which again elevates their antiobesity effect. Overall, this study suggests that MP-delivered liposome-based formulation is a promising approach to enhance the antiobesity efficacy of antilipogenesis bioactive compounds.

Abstract
AIMS The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of combination treatment with cold plasma (CP), vacuum packaging (VP), and hot water (HW) on the inactivation of foodborne pathogens on buckwheat seeds, and determined the germination rates of seeds and the quality of sprouts following combination treatment. METHODS AND RESULTS Buckwheat seeds inoculated with Salmonella Typhimurium and Listeria monocytogenes were treated with CP, HW, CP + HW, VP + HW, or CP + VP + HW. The germination rates of the HW-, CP + HW-, VP + HW-, and CP + VP + HW-treated seeds and the antioxidant activities and rutin contents of the CP + HW- and CP + VP + HW-treated sprouts were determined. HW, CP + HW, and CP + VP + HW were found to reduce the levels of the two pathogens to below the detection limit (1.0 log CFU g-1) at 70°C. However, HW and CP + HW significantly reduced the germination rate of buckwheat seeds. CP + VP + HW did not affect the germination rate of seeds nor the antioxidant activities and rutin content of buckwheat sprouts. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that CP + VP + HW can be used as a novel control method to reduce foodborne pathogens in seeds without causing quality deterioration.

Abstract
This study investigated the protective effect of rutin on reproductive and blood-testis barrier (BTB) damage induced by perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) exposure. In this study, male ICR mice were randomly divided into three groups, Ctrl group (ddH2O, 5 mL/kg), PFOA group (PFOA, 20 mg/kg/d, 5 mL/kg), PFOA + rutin group (PFOA, 20 mg/kg/d, 5 mL/kg; rutin, 20 mg/kg/d, 5 mL/kg). Mice were exposed to PFOA for 28 days by gavage once daily in the presence or absence of rutin. Histopathological observations demonstrated that rutin treatment during PFOA exposure can reduce structural damage to testis and epididymis such as atrophy of spermatogenic epithelium and stenosis of epididymal lumen, while increase in the number and layers of spermatogenic cells. Biochemical detection demonstrated that rutin can reduce 8-hydroxy-2'-desoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) concentration in the serum and testis tissues. Rutin can also ameliorate glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) content, and reduce malondialdehyde (MDA) and total cholesterol (TC) content in testis tissues. Biotin tracking immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy demonstrated that rutin can ameliorate BTB structural damage during PFOA exposure. Rutin ameliorated the stress expression of tight junction proteins occludin and claudin-11. In conclusion, our findings suggested that rutin has a degree of protection in reproductive and BTB damage, which could put forward a new perspective on the application of rutin to prevent reproductive damage.

Abstract
The abstract discusses the development of rutin-loaded nanoliposomes and their anti-colorectal cancer activity against human carcinoma cells (HT-29). The study characterizes the nanoliposomes using the thin-film hydration method and analyzes their size, charge, and polydispersity index. The encapsulation efficiency and drug loading ability of rutin at different concentrations were investigated. The nanoliposomes were found to be stable for up to one month at 4 °C and showed sustained drug release for up to 24 h. The anti-cancer activity of the rutin-loaded nanoliposomes was found to be concentration-dependent and significantly improved compared to free rutin. PEGylated nanoliposomes with rutin (1.8 mg/ml) showed the highest encapsulation efficiency and drug loading ability, along with improved selectivity against cancer cells. Overall, the study provides important insights into the potential use of rutin-loaded nanoliposomes for the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
In developing countries, diarrhoea is a major issue of concern, where consistent use of antibiotics has resulted in several side effects along with development of resistance among pathogens against these antibiotics. Since natural products are becoming the treatment of choice, therefore present investigation involves mechanistic evaluation of antidiarrhoeal potential of Begonia roxburghii and its marker rutin against Shigella flexneri (SF) induced diarrhoea in rats following in vitro, in vivo and in silico protocols. The roots of the plant are used as vegetable in the North East India and are also used traditionally in treating diarrhoea. Phytochemically standardized ethanolic extract of B. roxburghii (EBR) roots and its marker rutin were first subjected to in vitro antibacterial evaluation against SF. Diarrhoea was induced in rats using suspension of SF and various diarrhoeagenic parameters were examined after first, third and fifth day of treatment at 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg, p.o. with EBR and 50 mg/kg, p.o. with rutin respectively. Additionally, density of SF in stools, stool water content, haematological and biochemical parameters, cytokine profiling, ion concentration, histopathology and Na+/K+-ATPase activity were also performed. Molecular docking and dynamics simulation studies of ligand rutin was studied against secreted extracellular protein A (Sep A, PDB: 5J44) from SF and Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS, PDB: 1DD7) followed by network pharmacology. EBR and rutin demonstrated a potent antibacterial activity against SF and also showed significant recovery from diarrhoea (EBR: 81.29 ± 0.91% and rutin: 75.27 ± 0.89%) in rats after five days of treatment. EBR and rutin also showed significant decline in SF density in stools, decreased cytokine expression, potential antioxidant activity, cellular proliferative nature and recovered ion loss due to enhanced Na+/K+-ATPase activity, which was also supported by histopathology. Rutin showed a very high docking score of -11.61 and -9.98 kcal/mol against iNOS and Sep A respectively and their stable complex was also confirmed through dynamics, while network pharmacology suggested that, rutin is quite capable of modulating the pathways of iNOS and Sep A. Thus, we may presume that rutin played a key role in the observed antidiarrhoeal activity of B. roxburghii against SF induced diarrhoea.

Abstract
Cerebral ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of adult disability worldwide. Reperfusion is the only therapeutic option with a lot of side effects. In the current study, we investigated the efficacy of rutin and lithium co-treatment in improving post-stroke neurological outcomes in a transient global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury rat model. Middle-aged male rats were subjected to transient global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. NORT and Y-maze were used to assess the cognitive processes. Lipid peroxidation, protein carbonylation, and nitric oxide assays were performed to study oxidative stress. The excitotoxicity index was calculated by HPLC. Real time-PCR and western blotting were performed to study gene and protein expressions. The co-administration of rutin and lithium improved the overall survival, recognition memory, spatial working memory, and neurological score following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. Further, a marked decrease in malonaldehyde, protein carbonyls, and nitric oxide levels was observed following combined treatment. The mRNA expression of antioxidant (Hmox1 and Nqo1) and pro-inflammatory (Il2, Il6, and Il1β) markers were significantly attenuated in the rutin and lithium co-administrated group. The treatment inhibited the Gsk-3β and maintained a normal pool of the downstream β-catenin and Nrf2 proteins. The results revealed that co-administration of rutin and lithium had a neuroprotective potential, suggesting it to be a viable treatment to overcome post-stroke deaths and neurological complications.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation is prevalent in multiple brain diseases and may also lead to dementia, cognitive impairment, and impaired spatial memory function associated with neurodegenerative diseases. A neuroprotective and antioxidant flavonoid, rutin hydrate (RH), was evaluated for the anti-neuroinflammatory activity mediated by copper sulfate (CuSO4) solution and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in zebrafish. The results showed that 100 mg/L RH significantly reduced the ratio of neutrophil mobility in caudal hematopoietic tissue (CHT) region caused by CuSO4 and the number of neutrophils co-localized with facial peripheral nerves. In the LPS model, RH co-injection significantly diminished neutrophil and macrophage migration. Therefore, RH exhibited a significant rescue effect on both models. In addition, RH treatment remarkably reduced the effects of neuroinflammation on the locomotor ability, expression levels of genes associated with behavioral disorders, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity. Furthermore, network pharmacology techniques were employed to investigate the potential mechanisms, and the associated genes and enzyme activities were validated in order to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Network pharmacological analysis and zebrafish model indicated that RH regulated the expressions of NF-κB pathway-related targets (Toll-like receptor 9 (tlr9), nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1 (nfkb1), RELA proto-oncogene (RelA), nitric oxide synthase 2a, inducible (nos2a), tumour necrosis factor alpha-like (tnfα), interleukin 6 (il6), interleukin 1β (il1β), chemokine 8 (cxcl8), and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (mif)) as well as six key factors (arachidonic acid 4 alpha-lipoxygenase (alox4a), arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase a (alox5), prion protein a (prnpa), integrin, beta 2 (itgb2), catalase (CAT), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzymes). Through this study, a thorough understanding of the mechanism underlying the therapeutic effects of RH in neuroinflammation has been achieved, thereby establishing a solid foundation for further research on the potential therapeutic applications of RH in neuroinflammatory disorders.

Abstract
This study investigated the influence of rutin against EtOH-induced testicular impairment in rats and the involvement of the indole-aminergic pathway. Four groups of eight rats each were orally exposed to drinking water (Group 1), EtOH (5 g/kg bwt, Group 2), R (5 g/kg bwt, Group 3), and EtOH + R (5 g/kg bwt + 50 mg/kg bwt, Group 4) via gavage for 15 days. Results showed that exposure to EtOH significantly (p < 0.0001) reduced the testicular antioxidant system and increased lipid peroxidation (LPO) relative to control. We observed a significant (p < 0.0001) increase in the inflammatory biomarkers, with attendant disruption in the testicular histological structure and concomitant elevation in the activities of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), in comparison with control and no noticeable effects in tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO) activity across the groups. Rutin-only exposed group did not show any alteration in the measured parameters when compared with the control. Rutin co-exposure augmented the antioxidant system, prevented histological damage, reduced LPO and inflammation, and thus, lowered EtOH-mediated increase in IDO activity, compared with control. Overall, these findings reveal the involvement of the indole-aminergic pathway in rutin's protective influence against EtOH-induced testicular impairment in rats.

Abstract
In vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the bioactivity of rutin, a dietary flavonol naturally found in several plant species. Despite widespread knowledge of its numerous health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective and cardiovascular effects, industrial use of rutin is still limited due to its low solubility in aqueous media, the characteristic bitter and astringent taste of phenolic compounds and its susceptibility to degradation during processing. To expand its applications and preserve its biological activity, novel encapsulation systems have been developed. This review presents updated research on the extraction sources and methodologies of rutin from fruit and vegetable products commonly found in a regular diet and grown using family farming approaches. Additionally, this review covers quantitative analysis techniques, encapsulation methods utilizing nanoparticles, colloidal and heterodisperse systems, as well as industrial applications of rutin.

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
Olive leaf extract is a valuable source of phenolic compounds; primarily, oleuropein (major component) and rutin. This natural olive leaf extract has potential use as a therapeutic agent for cancer treatment. However, its clinical application is hindered by poor pharmacokinetics and low stability. To overcome these limitations, this study aimed to enhance the anticancer activity and stability of oleuropein and rutin by loading them into PEGylated Nano-phytosomes. The developed PEGylated Nano-phytosomes exhibited favorable characteristics in terms of size, charge, and stability. Notably, the anticolonic cancer activity of the Pegylated Nano-phytosomes loaded with oleuropein (IC50=0.14 μM) and rutin (IC50=0.44 μM) surpassed that of pure oleuropein and rutin alone. This outcome highlights the advantageous impact of Nano-phytosomes to augment the anticancer potential of oleuropein and rutin. These results present a promising pathway for the future development of oleuropein and rutin Nano-phytosomes as effective options for passive tumor-targeted therapy, given their improved stability and efficacy.

Abstract
The wastewater discharge from the process of chrome plating, which contains 6:2 chlorinated polyfluorinated ether sulfonate (F-53B) and chromium (Cr), may be toxic to biofilm. In this study we found that the biofilm formed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was inhibited by exposure to a combination of F-53B and Cr(VI). The combined pollution damaged the cell membranes and the structure of the biofilm, and inhibited the production of the Pseudomonas quinolone-based signal, which affected biofilm formation. Moreover, the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances decreased as a result of this combined exposure. Exposure to F-53B and Cr(VI) individually or in combination could induce the excessive accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the ROS positive rate of the bacteria increased under the treatment with 0.2 mmol/L of Cr(VI) and 250 nmol/L of F-53B, respectively. In addition, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were enhanced for scavenging ROS in the bacteria that were exposed to Cr(VI) and F-53B. As an antioxidant, rutin was used to repair the toxicity of Cr(VI) and F-53B towards the biofilm formed by the bacteria. When rutin was added to the bacteria medium, with either Cr(VI) or F-53B as pollutant, or with the combined pollutants, the extracellular protein content of the bacteria recovered to 0.84, 0.94, and 0.85 times that of the control, respectively. Meanwhile, the accumulation of ROS and the activities of SOD and CAT decreased, which indicated that the addition of rutin can alleviate the oxidative stress and promote the antioxidant stress system.

Abstract
Diclofenac is a widely prescribed anti-inflammatory drug having cardiovascular complications as one of the main liabilities that restrict its therapeutic use. We aimed to investigate for any role of rutin against diclofenac-induced cardiac injury with underlying mechanisms as there is no such precedent to date. The effect of rutin (10 and 20 mg/kg) was evaluated upon concomitant oral administration for fifteen days with diclofenac (10 mg/kg). Rutin significantly attenuated diclofenac-induced alterations in the serum cardiac markers (LDH, CK-MB, and SGOT), serum cytokine levels (TNF-α and IL-6), and oxidative stress markers (MDA and GSH) in the cardiac tissue. Histopathological examination and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) findings displayed a marked effect of rutin to prevent diclofenac-mediated cardiac injury. Altered protein expression of myocardial injury markers (cTnT, FABP3, and ANP) and apoptotic markers (Bcl-2 and Caspase-3) in the cardiac tissue upon diclofenac treatment was considerably shielded by rutin treatment. MYL3 was unaffected due to diclofenac or rutin treatment. Rutin also significantly improved diclofenac-induced gastrointestinal and hepatic alterations based on the observed ameliorative effects in key mediators, oxidative stress markers, histopathology examination, and SEM findings. Overall results suggest that rutin can protect the diclofenac-induced cardiac injury by lowering oxidative stress, inhibiting inflammation, and reducing apoptosis. Further research work directs toward the development of phytotherapeutics for cardioprotection.

Abstract
The fermentation process has been widely used to improve plant-based foods’ nutritional and nutraceutical properties. This study aimed to investigate and compare the impact of sourdough fermentation on the bioactive content and profile, antioxidant and antihypertensive activities, as well as the anti-inflammatory properties of fermented (FS) and non-fermented (NFS) flour from Tuscan Triticum dicoccum wheat (spelt) on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)-inflamed human intestinal epithelial cells (HT-29). FS showed significantly higher total phenolic and flavonoid content, in vitro and ex vivo antioxidant activities, and ACE-inhibitory activities than NFS. Gallic acid was identified by HPLC-DAD as the most representative polyphenol, followed by rutin, trans-ferulic acid, iso-quercitrin, and quercetin, in the fermented spelt sample. Instead, rutin and gallic acid were identified as the predominant compounds in the non-fermented ones. Moreover, FS exhibited a better protective effect on inflamed HT-29 cells by significantly counteracting the TNFα-induced alterations, lowering the expression of IL-8, COX-2, and ICAM-1 inflammatory mediator while enhancing antioxidant enzyme HO-1 gene expression. In conclusion, sourdough fermentation positively affected the nutraceutical and functional properties of spelt, which may represent a valuable ingredient for the formulation of functional foods and a key product for managing hypertension and inflammatory intestinal diseases.

Abstract
Quercetin has been studied extensively for its anti-Alzheimer's disease (AD) and anti-aging effects. Our previous studies have found that quercetin and in its glycoside form, rutin, can modulate the proteasome function in neuroblastoma cells. We aimed to explore the effects of quercetin and rutin on intracellular redox homeostasis of the brain (reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione, GSH/GSSG), its correlation with β-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) activity, and amyloid precursor protein (APP) expression in transgenic TgAPP mice (bearing human Swedish mutation APP transgene, APPswe). On the basis that BACE1 protein and APP processing are regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and that supplementation with GSH protects neurons from proteasome inhibition, we investigated whether a diet containing quercetin or rutin (30 mg/kg/day, 4 weeks) diminishes several early signs of AD. Genotyping analyses of animals were carried out by PCR. In order to determine intracellular redox homeostasis, spectrofluorometric methods were adopted to quantify GSH and GSSG levels using o-phthalaldehyde and the GSH/GSSG ratio was ascertained. Levels of TBARS were determined as a marker of lipid peroxidation. Enzyme activities of SOD, CAT, GR, and GPx were determined in the cortex and hippocampus. ΒACE1 activity was measured by a secretase-specific substrate conjugated to two reporter molecules (EDANS and DABCYL). Gene expression of the main antioxidant enzymes: APP, BACE1, a Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 10 (ADAM10), caspase-3, caspase-6, and inflammatory cytokines were determined by RT-PCR. First, overexpression of APPswe in TgAPP mice decreased GSH/GSSG ratio, increased malonaldehyde (MDA) levels, and, overall, decreased the main antioxidant enzyme activities in comparison to wild-type (WT) mice. Treatment of TgAPP mice with quercetin or rutin increased GSH/GSSG, diminished MDA levels, and favored the enzyme antioxidant capacity, particularly with rutin. Secondly, both APP expression and BACE1 activity were diminished with quercetin or rutin in TgAPP mice. Regarding ADAM10, it tended to increase in TgAPP mice with rutin treatment. As for caspase-3 expression, TgAPP displayed an increase which was the opposite with rutin. Finally, the increase in expression of the inflammatory markers IL-1β and IFN-γ in TgAPP mice was lowered by both quercetin and rutin. Collectively, these findings suggest that, of the two flavonoids, rutin may be included in a day-to-day diet as a form of adjuvant therapy in AD.

Abstract
Bisphenol A-glycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA) is a methacrylate monomer that is mainly used in three-dimensional structures to reconstruct dental and bony defects. BisGMA has toxic and proinflammatory effects on macrophages. Rutin is a natural flavonol glycoside that is present in various plants and has useful biological effects, such as anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antioxidative effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammation of rutin in macrophages after exposure to BisGMA. Pretreatment of the RAW264.7 macrophage with rutin at 0, 10, 30, and 100 μM for 30 min before being incubated with BisGMA at 0 or 3 μM. Proinflammatory cytokines and prostaglandin (PG) E2 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Nitric oxide (NO) was detected by the Griess assay. Expression and phosphorylation of proteins were measured by Western blot assay. Pretreatment with rutin inhibited the BisGMA-induced generation of proinflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and PGE2, in macrophages. Rutin also suppressed the BisGMA-induced secretion of NO and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, rutin suppressed the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation in a concentration-dependent manner. Finally, rutin suppressed the BisGMA-induced phosphorylation of nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65 and degradation of inhibitor of κB (IκB). These results indicate that the concentration of rutin has an inhibitory effect on proinflammatory mediator generation, MAPK phosphorylation, NF-κB p65 phosphorylation, and IκB degradation. In conclusion, rutin is a potential anti-inflammatory agent for BisGMA-stimulated macrophages through NF-κB p65 phosphorylation and IκB degradation resulting from MAPK phosphorylation.

Abstract
Widely used malathion (MLT) causes environmental pollution, leading to toxicity in many living things, including humans. Rutin (RUT) is a flavonoid with various biological properties. In the present study, the protective effects of rutin against liver and kidney toxicity caused by malathion were investigated. In the study, MLT (100 mg/kg) and RUT (50 or 100 mg/kg) were administered to rats alone or in combination for 28 days. Then, oxidative stress, inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), apoptosis, and autophagy markers in liver and kidney tissues were analyzed by biochemical and molecular methods. The results showed that MLT caused oxidative stress in both tissues, while RUT showed antioxidant properties and protected these tissues from oxidative damage. Moreover, MLT upregulated the expressions of ATF-6, PERK, IRE1, GRP78, and CHOP, leading to ERS. However, RUT alleviated ER stress and suppressed these markers. The study also found that MLT increased inflammatory, apoptotic, and autophagic markers. All these factors affected liver and kidney functions and caused an increase in plasma ALT, AST, urea, and creatinine levels. On the other hand, it has been observed that RUT may protect liver and kidney tissues from the destructive effect of MLT by showing anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-autophagic properties. Thus, it was determined that ALT, AST, urea, and creatinine levels decreased after RUT treatment. As a result, it was observed that MLT had a toxic effect on the liver and kidney tissues of rats, and it was determined that this toxicity could be alleviated by RUT treatment.

Abstract
Causes of dopaminergic neuronal loss in Parkinson's disease (PD) are subject of investigation and the common use of models of acute neurodegeneration induced by neurotoxins 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP), 6-hydroxydopamine, and rotenone contributed to advances in the study of PD. However, the use of study models more similar to the pathophysiology of PD is required for advances in early diagnosis and translational pharmacology. Aminochrome (AMI), a compound derived from dopamine oxidation and a precursor of neuromelanin, is able to induce all the mechanisms associated with neurodegeneration. Previously, we showed AMI is cytotoxic in primary culture of mesencephalic cells (PCMC) and induces in vitro and in vivo neuroinflammation. On the other hand, the effect of rutin in central nervous system cells has revealed anti-inflammatory, antioxidative, and neuroprotective potential. However, there have been no data studies on the effect of rutin against aminochrome neurotoxicity. Here, we show that rutin prevents lysosomal dysfunction and aminochrome-induced cell death in SHSY-5Y cells, protects PCMC against aminochrome cytotoxicity, and prevents in vivo loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNPc), as well as microgliosis and astrogliosis. Additionally, we show that rutin decreases levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) mRNA and increases levels of glia-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and nerve-derived neurotrophic factor (NGF) mRNA. We evidence for the first time the protective effect of rutin on PD aminochrome-induced models and suggest the potential role of the anti-inflammatory activity and upregulation of NGF and GDNF in the mechanism of rutin action against aminochrome neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Shigellosis is one of the major causes of death in children worldwide. Flavonoids and phenolic acids are expected to demonstrate anti-shigellosis activity and anti-diarrheal properties. The aerial part of A. integrifolia is commonly used against diarrhea. This study aimed to identify flavonoids and phenolic acids responsible for this therapeutic purpose. Antioxidant activity, total phenol content, and total flavonoid content were determined. The antibacterial activity of the aerial part against Shigella spp. was also tested using the agar well diffusion method. HPLC analysis was performed using UHPLC-DAD for different extracts of the aerial part. Autodock Vina in the PyRx platform was used to screen responsible components. Ciprofloxacin was used as a reference drug. An enzyme taking part in pyrimidine biosynthesis was used as a target protein. Molecular docking results were visualized using Discovery Studio and LigPlot1.4.5 software. Antioxidant activity, total phenol content, and total flavonoid content are more significant for the aerial part of A. integrifolia. From HPLC analysis, the presence of the flavonoids, quercetin, myricetin, and rutin and the phenolic acids gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, and syringic acid were identified from the aerial part of A. integrifolia. Regarding the antibacterial activity, the aerial part shows considerable activity against Shigella spp. Binding energies, RMSD and Ki values, interaction type, and distance are considered to identify the components most likely responsible for the therapeutic effects and observed activity. Antioxidant activity, total phenol content, and total flavonoid content of the aerial part are in line with anti-shigellosis activity. The top five components that are most likely potentially responsible for therapeutic purposes and anti-shigellosis activity are chlorogenic acid, rutin, dihydroquercetin, dihydromyricetin, and kaempferol.

Abstract
Muscle atrophy is a common complication in diabetes mellitus. Rutin has multiple biologic and therapeutic effects both in diabetic complications and muscle functions. However, no researches have implied prevention and treatment of rutin on muscle atrophy in diabetes mellitus. Our data demonstrated that rutin increased myocyte area and weight of gastrocnemius to promote muscular strength (p<0.01). Moreover, rutin attenuated Atrogin-1 and MuRF1 expressions to improve atrophy (p<0.01). The mechanism of rutin against diabetes-associated muscle atrophy is closely linked to its regulations on decreasing Bax expression (p<0.01) and increasing Pgc-1α, Nrf-1 and Bcl-2 expression (p<0.01). In conclusion, rutin protected against diabetic myopathy through its modulation of mitochondria bioactivity and apoptosis. These data suggested rutin could be a therapeutic agent on the improvement of diabetic muscle atrophy.
