Combined antioxidant effects of rutin and Vitamin C in Triton X-100 micelles

Effects of surfactant micelles on solubilization and DPPH radical scavenging activity of Rutin

“…The most acidic phenolic OH group of Rutin is at the 7th position of the molecule, which dissociates in aqueous solutions as per the following ionization equilibrium [8]. It might, therefore, be concluded that the antioxidant will prefer the palisade layer of micelle as a consequence of hydrophobic as well as electrostatic interactions [8,29,52]. Among single ionic surfactant systems, the solubilization is least efficient in SDS as evident from the values of MSR, a possible consequence of electrostatic repulsion between anionic Rutin and negatively charged SDS head groups.…”

Effects of Various Asparagus Production Methods on Rutin and Protodioscin Contents in Spears and Cladophylls

“…Asparagus spears are known to contain a large amount of rutin (RT), [1][2][3][4] which has been found to possess antiinflammatory, anti-tumor, and anti-bacterial/viral properties 5,6) along with potent radical-scavenging activity, as well as protective effects in protecting against capillary fragility and arteriosclerotic vascular changes. 7) Previous studies have found that asparagus contains 30-70 mg/100 g FW of RT, a level similar to that of buckwheat, 2,3) 75% of the anti-oxidative capacity of asparagus can be attributed to RT, 4) and protodioscin (PD), an anti-tumor substance, is present in the bottoms of spears, 1,8,9) suggesting the potential of asparagus as a functional food that can be utilized effectively. The RT content of asparagus varies with variety and harvest seasons, 3) and hence the relationship between cultivation conditions and the amounts of these components must be well understood to ensure adequate use of their beneficial effects in a wide range of applications.…”

Evaluation of reduction kinetics of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical by flavonoid glycoside Rutin in mixed solvent based micellar media

“…Flavonoids are generally believed to provide certain health benefits due to their antioxidant activity. Rutin, a flavonoid glycoside is reported to exhibit several beneficial pharmacological properties [4,5], due to its high radical scavenging activity and antioxidant capacity [4][5][6].…”
