Retinal cells were subjected to escalating doses of either homotaurine or citicoline for a full day in order to assess the possible neuroprotective effects of the compounds. The effects of homotaurine or cocaine at concentrations of 1 μM, 10 μM, and 100 μM on retinal cell viability were examined. In cultures treated with citicoline or homotaurine, retinal cells were effectively preserved; there was no sign of toxicity or appreciable loss of viability following treatment. In vitro, homotaurine at 100 μM is an effective concentration to increase neuroprotection in experimental glaucoma models, whereas cocaine at 100 μM does not injure retinal glial cells. As a result, this homotaurine and citicoline concentration was utilized in all ensuing investigations. Retinal cell cultures were treated to citicoline 24 hours prior to glutamate treatment in order to assess whether combined treatment with citicoline and homotaurine can generate synergistic neuroprotection against glutamate excitotoxicity. 100 μM for base, 100 μM for homotaurine, and 100 μM for citicoline with homotaurine. A notable rise in cell viability was noted in the presence of 100 μM citicoline [1].

The tonic phase thresholds for clonic and lethal seizures were more significantly elevated (18.54% and 50.08%, respectively, compared to controls) when citicoline at a dose of 1000 mg/kg was administered. After injecting 1000 mg/kg of citicoline, the anticonvulsant action becomes most noticeable [2].

| Additional Infomation |
Citicoline (CDP-choline) is a phosphate-choline compound and the chlorinated ester of citicoline (CDP). It is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of phospholipids in cell membrane structures. Citicoline has applications in human metabolism, psychotropic drugs, neuroprotective agents, Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolism, and mouse metabolism. It belongs to the phosphate-choline class of compounds and the nucleotide-(amino alcohol) class of compounds. Its function is related to citicoline (CDP). It is the conjugate base of citicoline (CDP-choline). Citicoline is the choline donor in the biosynthesis of choline-containing glycerophosphates. Nicotinic acid has been studied for the treatment, supportive care, and diagnosis of mania, stroke, hypomania, cocaine abuse, and bipolar disorder. Nicotinic acid has been reported in fruit flies, humans, and other organisms with relevant data. Citicoline is a nutritional supplement rich in choline and cytidine, with potential neuroprotective and nootropic effects. Citicoline, also known as cytidine-5-bisphosphate choline or CDP-choline, is hydrolyzed in the intestine to cytidine and choline. After absorption, both cytidine and choline are dispersed, participating in various biosynthetic pathways and crossing the blood-brain barrier to be resynthesized as citicoline in the brain. Citicoline is the rate-limiting product of phosphatidylcholine synthesis. This drug can also increase the levels of acetylcholine (Ach), norepinephrine (NE), and dopamine in the central nervous system (CNS). Furthermore, citicoline participates in the preservation of sphingomyelin and cardiolipin, as well as the restoration of Na+/K+-ATPase activity. Citicoline can also increase glutathione synthesis and glutathione reductase activity, and exert anti-apoptotic effects. Choline donors participate in the biosynthesis of choline-containing glycerophosphates. See also: Citicoline sodium (note moved to).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
