Urolithin A
Urolithin A (CAS 1143-70-0) is a gut microbiota-derived metabolite present naturally in certain foods. It promotes mitochondrial quality by activating mitophagy, the selective degradation of defective mitochondria, thereby supporting mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular respiratory function. Additionally, urolithin A exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. In murine CD4? T cells, urolithin A treatment reduces store-operated calcium entry and downregulates STIM1/2 and Orai1 via increased miR-10a-5p expression. Clinical studies suggest oral administration safely modulates skeletal muscle mitochondrial gene expression, highlighting its therapeutic promise for aging research.
