DescriptionCiticoline, also known as CDP-colina or nicholin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidine ribonucleoside diphosphates. These are pyrimidine ribonucleotides with diphosphate group linked to the ribose moiety. Citicoline is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Citicoline exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. In yeast, citicoline is involved in the metabolic pathway called ether lipid metabolism pathway.
