The pharmacological properties and mechanisms of action of the flavanoid rutin were reviewed. Rutin can interact with free radicals and various protein systems to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, and antitumor activity. At present, much research is devoted to studies of the mechanisms of rutin pharmacological action.
