Flavonoids commonly can be found in plants. They protect them against various microorganisms or insects [1]. Flavonoids demonstrate not only antioxidant properties, but also prevent the development of cancer [2]. This is attributed to their ability to induce apoptosis of tumor cells. The structure of this type of compound is based mainly on the flavone skeleton with the keto group in position 4 (Fig. 2). The difference in structure of flavonoids consists mainly in the number and nature of the substituents. Flavonoid compounds have a 15-carbon atoms skeleton, consisting of two aromatic rings (A and B) connected to 3 carbon atoms, by oxygen contained within the heterocyclic ring C (Fig. 2) [5]. Structural difference of the pyranose ring C and position of the phenyl ring B are the basis for the division flavonoids into seven groups (Fig. 3) [6]. In recent years a number of work focused on the study of flavonoids complexes with ions of copper(II) or iron(II) were published [20–22]. One of the most important flavonoids is rutoside, which has a number of important biological activities. One of the most important function of this compound is inhibition hyaluronidase activity by reducing the permeation and improveing the flexibility of blood vessels. It is used to treat diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose, atherosclerotic diseases or disorders of the venous circulation. Rutoside forms a relatively stable complex with ions of iron(II) or calcium(II) as well as nickel(II) and especially with copper(II). This type of complex protect from rapid degradation/oxidation of L-ascorbic acid [14, 15]. In 2011, Sak-Bosnar and colleagues proposed the structure of rutoside complex with ions of copper (II) (Fig. 9) [20]. In the same year was published work suggesting that a key role in this type of mechanism play hydroxyl group at the 3 ‚carbon atom, which becomes a „carrier” of the electron/radical (Fig. 5) [19].

An ultrasensitive and rapid method for the determination of epicatechin, rutin, and quercetin was developed using capillary zone electrophoresis with on-line chemiluminescence detection. Under the optimal conditions, the analytes were baseline separated within 12 min. The limits of detection in turn were 0.60 pg mL-1 for epicatechin, 0.50 pg mL-1 for rutin, and 1.0 pg mL-1 for quercetin. The developed method was an easy and reliable method of determining these analytes concentrations in tea, extract Ginkgo biloba, and rutin tablet, demonstrating the feasibility and reliability of the proposed method.

Fabrics made from wool and cotton were dyed with eucalyptus leaf extract, rutin, querecetin and tannin dyes by the pad-dry technique. In this experiment, ferrous sulfate was used as a mordant. Te dyeing properties were evaluated by measuring K/S values and CIELAB. Te different fastness properties were also evaluated. Te efect of dyes at diferent concentration levels with respect to their colour strength was also studied.

A HPLC-DAD method for simultaneous analysis of five flavonoids (rutin, quercitrin, quercetin, kaempferol, and isorhamnetin) in diabetic rat plasma has been developed and validated. Separation of the five flavonoids was accomplished on a C 18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm i.d., 5-µm particle) and detection was performed at 350 nm. The best resolution was achieved with a methanol-0.1% formic acid gradient at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min −1 . The correlation coefficients for all the calibration plots ( r > 0.999) showed linearity was good over the range tested. The relative standard deviation of the method was less than 7% and 10% for intra- and inter-day assays, and average recovery was between 77.2 and 99.2%. Sensitivity was high and detection limits were between 0.006 and 0.02 µg mL −1 . The method has been successfully used to determine drug concentrations in diabetic rat plasma samples and the pharmacokinetics of the drugs.

Reversed-phase HPLC has been used to monitor the concentration of the two major Chamomile components rutin and quercetin during rat liver microsomal treatment. The possibility of microsomal oxidative metabolism or stability of these two components was examined using a guard-column without any clean-up. The concentration of quercetin decreased when exposed to rat liver microsomal media whereas the rutin concentration did not change significantly over one hour of treatment.
