In vitro digestion, antioxidant and antiacetylcholinesterase activities of two species of Ruta: Ruta chalepensis and Ruta montana.

A recent study investigated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential of these two Ruta species. The study used various in vitro (test tube) assays to evaluate the effects of different extracts from both species. Results showed that the extracts had significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. The researchers concluded that these findings support the traditional uses of these plants in Tunisian folk medicine. Further clinical studies are needed to validate their effectiveness in treating inflammatory diseases.
