rutinile

Rutinile is a term encountered in a limited number of scientific writings but is not widely recognized as a distinct chemical entity in standard reference databases. As of now, major resources such as PubChem, ChEBI, and ChemSpider do not list a compound with the exact name “rutinile,” and there is no widely cited structural data, spectral data, or peer‑reviewed synthesis associated with it.

In some instances, the term appears to be a misspelling or informal reference to rutin (quercetin-3-O-rutinoside), a well-known flavonol glycoside found in various plants. In other contexts, “rutinile” has been encountered as an obscure proposed metabolite or derivative related to rutin, but without robust experimental confirmation its identity remains uncertain. The lack of consistent definition across sources contributes to ambiguity about its chemical nature and properties.

Because no unambiguous definition exists in authoritative sources, the term should be treated as ambiguous. Researchers encountering “rutinile” are advised to consult the original source for context and to verify whether it refers to rutin, a rutinoside derivative, or another compound altogether.
