Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a specific multicomponent crystalline system (cocrystal) comprising Urolithin A as one of the components produced by a specific process.
  • Urolithin A is the compound of formula (I)
  • Urolithin A is a metabolite compound resulting from the transformation of ellagitannins by the gut bacteria in the body.
  • Urolithin A belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzo-coumarins or dibenzo-a-pyrones. Its precursors - ellagic acids and ellagitannins - are ubiquitous in nature, including edible plants, such as pomegranates, strawberries, raspberries, and walnuts.
  • Urolithin A was isolated and identified in the 1960s.
  • Urolithin A is a natural food metabolite of the gut microbiome that has been shown to stimulate mitophagy and improve muscle function in aged animals and in models of muscular dystrophy, while also being safe, bioavailable, and able to induce mitochondrial gene expression in older adults.
  • Urolithin A Due to the fact, that Urolithin A is not to be found in a natural source, the precursors are supplied and then transformed into Urolithin A in the gut system.
  • Urolithin A is available commercially from a variety of suppliers.
  • Urolithin A has poor water solubility (pg/mL) and low bioavailability. Therefore, a large loading (500 mg per serving) is usually used in the current formulation to achieve an acceptable result.
  • the cocrystal according to the present invention is obtained by using the solvent process.
  • the solvent process comprises the steps of: a) stirring a mixture of a compound of formula (I) and the compound of formula (II) and the co-crystal forming compound in at least one solvent, at a temperature between 10 and 40°C, b) cooling the mixture to room temperature if the temperature of the resulting mixture of the step a) is higher than room temperature, and c) isolating the obtained compound.
  • the present invention relates to the co-crystal (CC) obtainable by a) stirring a mixture of a compound of formula (I) and the compound of formula (II) and the co-crystal forming compound in at least one solvent, at a temperature between 10 and 40°C, b) cooling the mixture to room temperature if the temperature of the resulting mixture of the step a) is higher than room temperature, and c) isolating the so obtained compound.

It is a way of aggregating of multi-component substances in a solid state.
  • a first neutral component crystallizes with at least one second neutral component and interacts via non-ionic interactions.
  • Said at least one second component in the co-crystal is commonly referred to as a “coformer” or “co-crystal former” and is solid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
  • This definition distinguishes co-crystals from crystalline solvates, in that in a solvate one of the components is a liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure.
  • the co-crystal’s components are in a neutral state and are linked by hydrogen bonding and other non-ionic interactions.
  • the co-crystal according to the present invention comprises Urolithin A and betaine.
  • the molar ratio of Urolithin A : betaine in the co-crystral is 1 :1.
  • the present invention relates to a specific multicomponent crystalline system (co-crystal) (CC1 ), which is the co-crystal (CC), wherein molar ratio of Urolithin A : betaine is 1 :1.
