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 ...

Elucidating the Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Diabetic Properties of Urolithin Bioactive Metabolites from Pecan [PDF]

, 2023
. Pecans are a rich source of ellagitannins which are not absorbed by humans, rather they are catabolized into urolithins by human gut microbiota and enterohepatic circulation.

Exploration of Novel Urolithin C Derivatives as Non-Competitive Inhibitors of Liver Pyruvate Kinase

Pharmaceuticals, 2023
The inhibition of liver pyruvate kinase could be beneficial to halt or reverse non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a progressive accumulation of fat in the liver that can lead eventually to cirrhosis.

Dapagliflozin alleviates high‐fat‐induced obesity cardiomyopathy by inhibiting ferroptosis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1358-1373, April 2025.
Abstract Aim: Dapagliflozin (Dapa) is a novel hypoglycaemic agent with multiple cardiovascular protective effects, and it is widely used in treatment of heart failure patients, but whether it can improve obese phenotype of heart failure and its mechanism is still unclear.

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

Rewiring nutrition: Chemical insights into the physiological and microbiological roles of food's microconstituents

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Bidirectional interactions between food‐derived sensory compounds, gut sensing and microbiota, host physiological feedback, and metabolite production within the food matrix collectively shape sensory perception, microbial dynamics, and metabolic health.

Vaccarin Improves Myocardial Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury by Attenuating Oxidative Stress and Ferroptosis Through Reducing NOX4‐Modulated JAK2/STAT3 Pathway Activation

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vaccarin is a naturally occurring flavonoid glycoside with cardioprotective properties; however, its involvement in myocardial ischemia–reperfusion (MI/R) injury remains poorly defined. We herein investigated whether vaccarin protects cardiomyocytes from MI/R‐induced dysfunction in vivo and in vitro and examined the associated molecular ...

In Silico and In Vitro Study of Antioxidant Potential of Urolithins

Antioxidants, 2023
In this work, quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) were performed to predict the antioxidant potential of four bioactive gut microbiota metabolites of the natural polyphenols ellagitannins (ETs) and ellagic acid (EA), also known as urolithins (UROs). In order to evaluate their ability to counter the effect of oxidative

Therapeutic potential of natural products in cancer immunotherapy: Advances and challenges

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
This review systematically outlines the mechanisms underlying tumour immunotherapy resistance and elucidates the role of natural products in enhancing therapeutic efficacy as immunomodulatory adjuvants. Abstract Immunotherapy has emerged as a clinically pivotal approach in cancer treatment, but its application remains limited to a small subset of ...

In vivo administration of gut bacterial consortia replicates urolithin metabotypes A and B in a non-urolithin-producing rat model

Food & Function, 2023
The two bacterial consortia colonized the intestine of rats and converted UM-0 (non-urolithin-producing) animals into urolithin-producing animals mimicking the UM-A and UM-B metabotypes.
