99% pure high quality raw material Urolithin A with Best Price

1. Description

Urolithin A is a natural bioactive metabolite with excellent antioxidant properties. It helps optimize internal cell circulation, promote natural cell renewal and clear accumulated aging metabolites gently. It enhances cellular defense capacity against external oxidation pressure, relieves fatigue caused by aging and maintains steady physical vitality. With stable chemical properties and high purity standards, it is widely applied in high-end wellness raw material formulas for daily long-term body conditioning care.

2. Application

(1) Anti-aging and mitochondrial health research: Used to investigate the mechanisms underlying mitochondrial autophagy induction and to explore its role in delaying aging and improving muscle function and motor performance in C. elegans, rodents, and human clinical trials.

(2) Neurodegenerative Disease Research: Used to investigate the mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, exerting neuroprotective effects by promoting mitochondrial autophagy and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

(3) Anti-inflammatory and Gut Health Research: Used in studies of inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis; it regulates intestinal barrier function and the expression of circadian rhythm genes by inhibiting inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E2 and COX-2.

(4) Oncology Research: Used in antiproliferative studies on various tumor cell lines, including colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and glioblastoma, exerting effects by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

(5) Muscle Function and Motor Ability Research: Used in studies on muscle dysfunction such as sarcopenia and muscle atrophy in the elderly; clinical trials indicate it can improve muscle endurance and mitochondrial function in the elderly population.

3. Main Efficacy

(1) Induction of mitochondrial autophagy: By activating the PINK1/Parkin pathway or BNIP3 receptor-mediated mechanisms, it selectively removes dysfunctional mitochondria, thereby improving mitochondrial function and cellular health. In Caenorhabditis elegans, it prolongs lifespan and enhances pharyngeal peristalsis and motility.

(2) Antioxidant effects: By donating hydrogen atoms via phenolic hydroxyl groups, it scavenges reactive oxygen species such as hydroxyl radicals and superoxide anion radicals, thereby interrupting oxidative chain reactions. Molecular docking analysis indicates a binding energy of -7.9 kcal/mol with cytochrome P450 CYP2C9, and it significantly reduces ROS levels in Neuro-2a cells. Human studies indicate that increased urinary Urolithin A concentrations following consumption of foods rich in tannins are associated with a 32% enhancement in plasma antioxidant capacity.

(3) Anti-inflammatory effects: Inhibits the nuclear factor κB signaling pathway and downregulates the expression of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandin E2, interleukin-8, and COX-2. In a DSS-induced colitis mouse model, oral administration of Urolithin A improved fecal IgA concentrations and regulated the expression of tight junction proteins and clock genes. In models of neurodegenerative diseases, it inhibited the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in microglia.

(4) Antitumor activity: Inhibits tumor cell proliferation by inducing cell cycle arrest and blocking pro-proliferative signaling pathways such as PI3K/AKT/mTOR and MAPK/ERK. Induces tumor cell apoptosis by enhancing mitochondrial autophagy and activating death receptor pathways. Simultaneously, it inhibits the expression of vascular endothelial hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and blocks tumor angiogenesis.

(5) Neuroprotective Effects: By promoting mitochondrial autophagy to clear dysfunctional mitochondria, it alleviates neuroinflammatory responses. In models of Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, it protects dopaminergic and cortical neurons from damage.

(6) Improvement of Muscle Function: In clinical trials involving elderly populations, supplementation with Urolithin A improves skeletal muscle mitochondrial function and enhances muscle endurance and exercise capacity, which is closely associated with the activation of the mitochondrial autophagy pathway.
