CAS 33818-15-4: Citicoline sodium
Description:Citicoline sodium, also known as cytidine diphosphate choline, is a naturally occurring compound that plays a crucial role in the synthesis of phospholipids, particularly phosphatidylcholine, which is essential for cell membrane integrity and function. It is a sodium salt of citicoline, characterized by its ability to enhance cognitive function and support neuronal health. Citicoline is often used as a nootropic agent, believed to improve memory and cognitive performance, particularly in conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and age-related cognitive decline. The substance is water-soluble, making it easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. It is generally well-tolerated, with a favorable safety profile, and side effects are typically mild, including gastrointestinal discomfort. Citicoline sodium is available in various formulations, including oral tablets and injectable forms, and is often utilized in dietary supplements and pharmaceutical preparations aimed at enhancing cognitive function and neuroprotection. Its mechanism of action involves the modulation of neurotransmitter levels and the promotion of neuronal membrane repair.
