Villalgordo, Jose M. published the artcileNovel Regioselective Synthesis of Urolithin Glucuronides-Human Gut Microbiota Cometabolites of Ellagitannins and Ellagic Acid, Quality Control of 74317-85-4, the main research area is urolithin glucuronide synthesis gut microbiota metabolite ellagitannin ellagate; ellagic acid; glucuronides; gut microbiota metabolites; synthesis; urolithins.
Urolithins (dibenzo-pyran-[b,d]-6 one derivatives) are human gut microbiota metabolites produced from the natural food antioxidant ellagic acid. Urolithins are better absorbed than ellagic acid and demonstrate biol. activities that suggest that they are responsible for the health effects observed after consuming ellagitannin- and ellagic acid-containing foods. Urolithins occur in the systemic circulation as glucuronide conjugates following phase II metabolism These phase II conjugates are essential for testing the urolithin mechanisms of action in human cell line bioassays. Urolithin glucuronides are not com. available, and their biosynthesis leads to mixtures of regional isomers. This study describes a novel and regioselective synthesis of urolithin A (3,8-dihydroxy urolithin) 3- and 8-glucuronides and isourolithin A (3,9-dihydroxy urolithin) 3- and 9-glucuronides. The metabolites were characterized using 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and UV spectrophotometry. The presence of these metabolites in human subjects belonging to different urolithin metabotypes was also investigated.
