Citicoline is an endogenous intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, the major phospholipid in eukaryotic cells.{23421} It also serves as a choline donor in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Citicholine demonstrates protective effects in cerebral ischemia, traumatic brain injury, and memory disorders.{23420} Exogenous administration of citicholine to rodents (500 mg/kg i.p. immediately after ischemia and at 3-h reperfusion) has been shown to stimulate the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and cardiolipin and to attenuate the release of arachidonic acid and the accumulation of ceramide.{23419}
