Rutin (rutoside, quercetin-3-O-rutinoside or sophorin) is the

flavonoid glycoside found in a wide variety of plants, including citrus
.

Occurrences

Rutin is one of the phenolic compounds found in the invasive plant species, Carpobrotus edulis. Its name comes from the name of Ruta graveolens, a plant that also contains rutin. Various citrus fruit peels contain 32 to 49 mg/g of flavonoids expressed as rutin equivalents.[3] Citrus leaves contain rutin at concentrations of 11 and 7 g/kg in orange and lime trees, respectively.[4] In 2021, Samoan researchers identified rutin in the native plant matalafi (Psychotria insularum).[5]

Metabolism

The enzyme quercitrinase found in Aspergillus flavus is in the rutin catabolic pathway.[6]

In food

Rutin is a

Tartary buckwheat seeds have been found to contain more rutin (about 0.8–1.7% dry weight) than common buckwheat seeds (0.01% dry weight).[7] Rutin is one of the primary flavonols found in 'clingstone' peaches.[8] It is also found in green tea infusions.[9]

Research

Rutin (rutoside or rutinoside)

flavonols are under preliminary clinical research for their potential biological effects, such as in reducing post-thrombotic syndrome, venous insufficiency, or endothelial dysfunction, but there was no high-quality evidence for their safe and effective uses as of 2018.[11][12][13] A 2020 review indicated that oral rutosides may reduce leg edema in people with post-thrombotic syndrome, but the risk of adverse effects was higher.[14]

As a

flavonol among similar flavonoids, rutin has low bioavailability due to poor absorption, high metabolism, and rapid excretion that collectively make its potential for use as a therapeutic agent limited.[11]

Biosynthesis

The biosynthesis pathway of rutin in mulberry (

isoquercitrin, finally, the formation of rutin from isoquercitrin is catalyzed by flavonoid 3-O-glucoside L-rhamnosyltransferase.[15]
