Abstract
Rutin is a flavonoid present in many plant species. Because of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic properties, rutin is of interest for its potential protective effects against toxic agents. The hepatoprotective, renoprotective, and cardioprotective effects of rutin are reviewed. The antioxidant effects of rutin are elicited by enhancing antioxidant enzymes such as GST, GGT, CAT, GPx, SOD, and GR, activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, elevating GSH content, and the reduction in MDA. The anti-inflammatory effects of rutin are mediated by the inhibition of IL-1β, IL-6, TGF-β1, COX-2, iNOS, TLR4, and XO. Rutin exerted its antiapoptotic effects by inhibition of free radicals, caspase-3/-7/-9, hsp70, HMGB1, and p53, and the elevation of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-2. Rutin has potential therapeutic effectiveness against several toxicants, and its beneficial effects are more than likely mediated by its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and/or antiapoptotic property.
