Description

8-o-Methyl-Urolithin C is a specific methylated derivative of the urolithin family of compounds, which are gut-microbiota metabolites of ellagitannins and ellagic acid. This compound is of significant interest in research and development due to its potential role as a key intermediate or reference standard for studying the bioavailability, metabolism, and biological activity of dietary polyphenols. It is primarily sought by pharmaceutical researchers, nutraceutical developers, and analytical laboratories focused on metabolic pathways, anti-inflammatory agents, and aging-related health supplements.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a high-purity reference standard or intermediate in the study of urolithin metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics.
• Nutraceutical Development: Serves as a key compound for formulating and testing advanced dietary supplements targeting cellular health and longevity.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in in vitro and in vivo studies to investigate anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and mitophagy-inducing properties.
• Analytical Chemistry: Acts as a critical calibration standard for method development and validation in HPLC, LC-MS, and other analytical techniques for quantifying urolithins in complex matrices.
• Cosmeceutical Applications: Explored for potential inclusion in topical formulations aimed at skin health due to its proposed bioactive properties.
