Bioactivity | Urolithin M6 is a polyhydroxy-rich metabolite with potential antioxidant activity. Urolithin M6 is produced by intestinal microbial metabolism and may act as an analog of tannic acid compounds. The production of Urolithin M6 in humans requires specific bacterial 3-dehydroxylase activity, which provides a new mechanism for its biotransformation. The metabolic profile of Urolithin M6 helps to stratify volunteers and further explore its potential role in health and disease[1]. |
