Citicoline: Overview
Citicoline is also known as cytidine diphosphate choline, a nucleotide related compound involved in phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis. The free acid form is chemically distinct from citicoline sodium and has a different molecular mass. It is used in biochemical research, nucleotide chemistry, analytical testing, and pharmaceutical ingredient development. Citicoline provides a defined structure combining cytidine and choline through a diphosphate linkage. Commercial laboratory preparations are commonly solids that can be used in suitable analytical systems. Research into its biological functions does not by itself establish an approved medical use. Ingredient identification should distinguish the free acid from its sodium salt. Research continues.
