| Name | Urolithin C |
| Description | 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[2]. Urolithin C stimulates reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation[2]. |
| 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)[3]. |
| Storage | Shipping with blue ice/Shipping at ambient temperature. |
| Solubility Information | DMSO : 64.67 mg/mL (264.82 mM), Sonication is recommended. 10% DMSO+40% PEG300+5% Tween 80+45% Saline : 2 mg/mL (8.19 mM), Sonication is recommended.
