Description:Urolithin C is a metabolite derived from ellagitannins, which are polyphenolic compounds found in various fruits, particularly pomegranates. It is known for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Urolithin C is part of a group of compounds called urolithins, which are produced by gut microbiota through the metabolism of ellagitannins. This compound has garnered interest in the field of nutraceuticals and functional foods due to its possible role in promoting cellular health and longevity. Structurally, Urolithin C features a fused ring system characteristic of its class, contributing to its biological activity. Research suggests that it may influence pathways related to autophagy, a process crucial for cellular maintenance and homeostasis. While studies are ongoing to fully elucidate its mechanisms and therapeutic potential, Urolithin C represents a promising area of investigation in the context of dietary polyphenols and their impact on human health.
