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.

Persistence of anticancer activity in berry extracts after simulated gastrointestinal digestion and colonic fermentation [PDF]

, 2012
Fruit and vegetable consumption is associated at the population level with a protective effect against colorectal cancer. Phenolic compounds, especially abundant in berries, are of interest due to their putative anticancer activity.

Urolithin A attenuates auditory cell senescence by activating mitophagy

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractAging of sensory organs is associated with a decline in mitochondrial function and the accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria. Impaired mitophagy blocks the turnover of dysfunctional mitochondria and leads to their accumulation. Urolithin A (UA) induces mitophagy in various mammalian cells.

Ellagic Acid-Derived Urolithins as Modulators of Oxidative Stress [PDF]

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2020
Oxidative stress is a state of excess of prooxidative species relative to the antioxidant defenses (enzymatic and nonenzymatic) in a living organism. The consequence of this imbalance is damage of the major cellular macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and DNA), which further leads to a gradual loss of tissue and organ function. It has been

Role for growth regulation by estrogen in breast cancer 1 (GREB1) in hormone-dependent cancers [PDF]

, 2018
Sex hormones play important roles in the onset and progression of several cancers, such as breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer. Although drugs targeting sex hormone function are useful in treating cancer, tumors often develop resistance.

In vitro conversion of ellagic acid to urolithin A by different gut microbiota of urolithin metabotype A

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
Abstract The metabolite urolithin A, a metabolite of the dietary polyphenol ellagic acid (EA), has significant health benefits for humans. However, studies on the gut microbiota involved in ellagic acid metabolism are limited.

Urolithin A attenuates osteoclast differentiation and compensates for ovariectomy-induced bone loss in mice by inhibiting PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway

Phytomedicine Plus
Backgrounds and purposes: Osteoporosis (OP) is a debilitating illness distinguished by a reduction in bone density and microstructure, which leads to fragility, fracture risk, and increased mortality, particularly in the elderly and postmenopausal women.
