Background:
Liver disorders pose a considerable global health challenge, accompanied by rising mortality rates. Current therapeutic strategies, though effective, often face limitations due to adverse effects and therapeutic resistance, prompting the exploration of alternative treatments, particularly safer natural compounds. Rutin, a widely available bioflavonoid, has emerged as a promising candidate owing to its varied pharmacological properties.
Methods:
We conducted a comprehensive search on PubMed and Web of Science using the following keywords: 'rutin', 'liver diseases', 'hepatoprotection', 'clinical observations', 'mechanisms, pharmacology' and various combinations of these terms.
Results:
This review systematically examines rutin's therapeutic potential in hepatic disorders, focusing on its molecular mechanisms, particularly its effects on inflammatory pathways, oxidative stress and hepatocellular protection.
Conclusion:
We analyse existing evidence supporting rutin's hepatoprotective efficacy, identify its cellular and molecular targets and evaluate its potential applications in various liver diseases. Our systematic analysis provides theoretical support for developing rutin-based therapies in hepatic disease management and identifies future research directions and clinical applications.
