Urolithin C

Research use only, not for human use.

Urolithin C is a gut metabolite of ellagic acid. Urolithin C induces apoptosis in PC12 cells through a mitochondria-mediated pathway.

Urolithin C is a gut metabolite of ellagic acid. Urolithin C induces apoptosis in PC12 cells through a mitochondria-mediated pathway.(In Vitro):Urolithin C is a glucose-dependent activator of insulin secretion acting by facilitating L-type Ca2+ channel opening and Ca2+ influx into pancreatic β-cells.Urolithin C enhanced glucose-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) activation as shown by higher phosphorylation levels in INS-1 β-cells. Urolithin C stimulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation.(In Vivo):In male Wistar rat, the half-life of the terminal part is 11.3 h and the total clearance (CL/F) is 3.41 L/h/kg. The initial volume of distribution (V1/F) is 0.831 L/kg and the steady-state volume of distribution (Vss/F) is 55.6 L/kg after the intraperitoneal administration of Urolithin C (10 mg/kg).

Western Blot Analysis Cell Line:INS-1 cells Concentration:20 μM, 100 μM Incubation Time:1 hour Result:Enhanced glucose-induced extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) activation.
