General description
Cytidine 5′-diphosphocholine (CDP-choline) contains cytidine and choline linked via a diphosphate bridge.
Application
Cytidine 5′-diphosphocholine sodium salt dihydrate has been used as a physiological metabolite for the identification of gemcitabine diphosphate choline (GdPC) by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method in the Kennedy pathway .
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cytidine 5′-diphosphocholine (CDP-choline) plays an important role in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine. It is also involved in the biosynthesis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. CDP-choline has therapeutic effects against hypoxia, cerebral ischemia and traumatic brain injury. It also exhibits therapeutic effects against learning and memory disorders, drug addiction and Alzheimer′s and Parkinson′s diseases.
