Abstract
Various parts of plants have long been widely used for the treatment and prevention of diseases. They are a valuable source of biologically active compounds, especially they are rich in polyphenolic structures. Rutin belongs to the group of some of the most common flavonoids in plant objects. Animal organisms do not have enzyme systems for its synthesis, so it enters the human body only with plant food. Rutin is widely used as a component in herbal medicines, multivitamin preparations, in the cosmetology, food and chemical industries. This article discusses the biological activity of rutin, namely antidiabetic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antitumor activity. The article summarizes the current data on the above-mentioned types of biological activity. It follows from the presented research results that rutin is a promising compound with multi-target activity for the treatment of various diseases. It can serve as a basis for the creation of new highly effective pharmacological molecules based on it.
