Citicoline, also known as CDP-choline, is a nucleotide-amino alcohol compound that serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of phospholipids in cell membranes. It acts as a neuroprotective agent and psychotropic drug, and is involved in the supply of choline for the production of choline-containing phosphoglycerides.
