Urolithin A, C, and D, but not iso‐urolithin A and urolithin B, attenuate triglyceride accumulation in human cultures of adipocytes and hepatocytes

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2016
ScopeUrolithins (Uro) are ellagic acid (EA)‐derived metabolites produced by gut microbes. There is a growing interest in the biological activities of Uro. Our aim was to evaluate the impacts of Uro on regulating triglyceride (TG) accumulation using cultures of primary human adipocytes and hepatoma Huh7 cells.Methods and resultsUroA, UroB, UroC, UroD ...

NMR Spectroscopic Identification of Urolithin G, a Novel Trihydroxy Urolithin Produced by Human Intestinal Enterocloster Species

open access: yesJournal 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,

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of novel urolithins derivatives as potential phosphodiesterase II inhibitors

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
A series of urolithins derivatives were designed and synthesized, and their structures have been confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HR-MS. The inhibitory activity of these derivatives on phosphodiesterase II (PDE2) was thoroughly studied with 3-hydroxy-8 ...

Urolithin A Is a Dietary Microbiota-Derived Human Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Antagonist

open access: yesMetabolites, 2018
Urolithins (e.g., UroA and B) are gut microbiota-derived metabolites of the natural polyphenol ellagic acid. Urolithins are associated with various health benefits, including attenuation of inflammatory signaling, anti-cancer effects and repression of ...

Inhibitory Effects of Urolithins, Bioactive Gut Metabolites from Natural Polyphenols, against Glioblastoma Progression

open access: yes, 2023
We previously reported that proinflammatory cytokines, particularly tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, promoted tumor migration, invasion, and proliferation, thus worsening the prognosis of glioblastoma (GBM).
