Product Description of Rutin CAS#153-18-4

Rutin is widely distributed in nature and is present in numerous plant species, particularly in members of the Rutaceae family and other related plants. It is especially abundant in Rutaceae, Leguminosae, Epacridaceae, Polygonaceae (buckwheat), Hypericum species, Berchemia polyphylla var. leioclada, and wild wutong leaves of thistle, all of which are commonly used as raw materials for rutin extraction. In addition, rutin is also found in plants such as Ilex pubescens of the Aquifoliaceae family, Forsythia of the Oleaceae family, pagoda tree pods of Leguminosae, as well as in tobacco, jujube, apricots, citrus peels, tomatoes, and many other plants.

At present, rutin in China is mainly extracted from Sophora japonica Linn, a leguminous plant recorded as a top-grade herb in Shen Nong’s Classic Materia Medica. Furthermore, tartary buckwheat, which is rich in rutin and flavonoids and is native to India, is now widely cultivated in northwest, southwest, north, south, and other regions of China.
