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 ...

Microbiota-derived urolithin A in monoclonal gammopathies and multiple myeloma therapy [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground Gut microbiota-derived urolithins may influence multiple myeloma (MM) disease progression and treatment. We analyzed urolithins and their associated microbiota in a retrospective cohort of 45 patients with active MM or premalignant disease ...

Immunomodulatory Role of Urolithin A on Metabolic Diseases [PDF]
Biomedicines, 2021 Urolithin A (UroA) is a gut metabolite produced from ellagic acid-containing foods such as pomegranates, berries, and walnuts. UroA is of growing interest due to its therapeutic potential for various metabolic diseases based on immunomodulatory properties.

Urolithin and Reduced Urolithin Derivatives as Potent Inhibitors of Tyrosinase and Melanogenesis: Importance of the 4-Substituted Resorcinol Moiety [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 We previously reported (E)-β-phenyl-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl scaffold ((E)-PUSC) played an important role in showing high tyrosinase inhibitory activity and that derivatives with a 4-substituted resorcinol moiety as the β-phenyl group of the scaffold resulted in the greatest tyrosinase inhibitory activity.

Urolithins and intestinal health
Drug Discoveries & Therapeutics, 2022 There are trillions of microorganisms in the human intestine. They can react to the intestinal microenvironment by metabolizing food or producing small molecular compounds to affect the host's digestive ability and resist the risk of infection and autoimmune diseases.

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 ...
