Differential Role of Active Compounds in Mitophagy and Related Neurodegenerative Diseases
Toxins, 2023 Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease, significantly reduce the quality of life of patients and eventually result in complete maladjustment. Disruption of the synapses leads to a deterioration in the communication

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021 Ellagitannins (esters composed of glucose and ellagic acid) are hydrolyzed to generate ellagic acid in gut followed by conversion of ellagic acid to urolithins such as urolithin A by intestinal bacteria.

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2023 Urolithins are gut microbiota metabolites of ellagic acid. Here, we have identified and chemically characterized a novel urolithin produced from urolithin D (3,4,8,9-tetrahydroxy urolithin) by in vitro incubation with different human gut Enterocloster species under anaerobic conditions. Urolithin G (3,4,8-trihydroxy urolithin) was identified by 1H NMR,

Mitophagy Activation by Urolithin A to Target Muscle Aging
Calcified Tissue International, 2023 AbstractThe age-related loss of skeletal muscle function starts from midlife and if left unaddressed can lead to an impaired quality of life. A growing body of evidence indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction is causally involved with muscle aging. Muscles are tissues with high metabolic requirements, and contain rich mitochondria supply to support ...

Urolithin A alleviates neuropathic pain and activates mitophagy
Molecular Pain, 2023 Neuropathic pain (NP) occurs frequently in the general population and has a negative impact on the quality of life. There is no effective therapy available yet owing to the complex pathophysiology of NP. In our previous study, we found that urolithin A (UA), a naturally occurring microflora-derived metabolite, could relieve NP in mice by inhibiting the
