Citicoline sodium

SKU: orb1309407

Description

Citicoline sodium (CDP-choline) is an endogenous compound that functions as a key intermediate in phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis and a choline donor for acetylcholine. It exhibits neuroprotective properties in models of cerebral ischemia and brain injury, where it modulates phospholipid metabolism and attenuates harmful lipid signaling. Research applications include in vivo studies on neuroprotection and in vitro investigations of cellular metabolism.
