Poli(Rutin) micro/nanogels for biomedical applications

Abstract

I nterest in flavonoids, which are phenolic compounds, has grown with the French paradox. Interest in bioflavonoids has increased based on Mediterranean culture, which includes a diet rich in phenol directly proportional to high fat with an inverse relationship with the risk of heart attack. Flavonoids are widely used in the food industry due to antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Flavonoids are known to affect many biofunctions such as lowering blood pressure and having anti-inflammatory, hypocholesterolemic, anticancer platelet stabilizer, antiallergic, antidepressant and blood clotting properties [1,2]. Rutin is a known flavonoid and has two sugar molecules in its structure. Rutin's chemical name is quercetin-3-remnosyl glucoside [3]. It is present in many fruits and vegetables such as onion, tea, apple, parsley, citrus, sage, and grape [4]. It is used in the food, cosmetics, and even pharmacology industries
