Application
Citicoline: An Essential Intermediate in the Major Pathway for the Biosynthesis of the Structural Phospholipids
Citicoline (CDP-choline), a naturally occurring endogenous nucleoside, is an essential intermediate in the major pathway for the biosynthesis of the structural phospholipids of cell membranes, including neurons. It has been reported that citicoline activates the biosynthesis of structural phospholipids in the neuronal membrane, increases cerebral metabolism and increases the level of various neurotransmitters, including acetylcholine and dopamine. Therefore, citicoline is used for the treatment of CNS disorders, in clinical. (The product is for research purpose only.)
