Among the technological advances, methods such as microwave-assisted pyrolysis and the use of ionic liquids have shown significant improvements in conversion efficiency, removing inhibitors and increasing biofuel productivity.

The viability of RAW 264.7 cells exposed to H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> and co-treated with the rutin fraction retained cell viability. Moreover, the rutin fraction alone (200 μg/mL) did not alter the morphology of RAW 264.7 cells, and reduced cellular damage in the presence of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>. TNF-α, COX-2a, IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 gene expression was significantly downregulated as well the cytokine protein levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8, IL-6, and IL-10 were markedly down regulated in RAW 264.7 cells treated with the rutin fraction.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>The results of our study demonstrate the remarkable anti-inflammatory properties of the buckwheat rutin fraction in suppressing inflammatory responses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8774,"journal":{"name":"Biocatalysis and agricultural biotechnology","volume":"63 ","pages":"Article 103462"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143180819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
