Citicoline (INN), also known as cytidine diphosphate-choline (CDP-Choline) or cytidine 5′-diphosphocholine is an intermediate in the generation of phosphatidylcholine from choline, a common biochemical process in cell membranes. Citicoline is naturally occurring in the cells of human and animal tissue, in particular the organs.
Studies suggest that CDP-choline supplements increase dopamine receptor densities.[1] Intracerebroventricular administration of citicoline has also been shown to elevate ACTH independently from CRH levels and to amplify the release of other HPA axis hormones such as LH, FSH, GH and TSH in response to hypothalamic releasing factors.[2] These effects on HPA hormone levels may be beneficial for some individuals but may have undesirable effects in those with medical conditions featuring ACTH or cortisol hypersecretion including PCOS, type II diabetes and major depressive disorder.[3][4]
Citicoline was originally developed in Japan for stroke. Citicoline or its sodium salt was later introduced as a prescription drug in many European countries. In these countries it is now frequently prescribed for thinking problems related to circulation problems in the brain. In the US, citicoline is marketed as a dietary supplement. Citicoline or its sodium salt is used for Alzheimers disease and other types of dementia, head trauma, cerebrovascular disease such as stroke, age-related memory loss, Parkinsons disease, and glaucoma.
Citicoline sodium is chemically known as 5-0-[hydroxy({hydroxy[2-(trimethylammonio)ethoxy]phosphoryl}oxy)phosphoryl]cytidine sodium which is represented by formula I,
There are many process described in the art for the preparation of citicoline. Japanese patent 51028636 describes a process for the preparation of citicoline by neutralisation of Calcium salt of phosphorylcholine chloride with 98% H2SO4 to make phosphorylcholine chloride, which is further treated with cytidine-5-phosphate in presence of DCC and pyridine at 70 C to obtain citicoline hydrate. The drawback of this process is that citicoline is very unstable
in this harsh reaction condition such as formamide, 98% H2SO4 and high temperature of 70 C.
Chinese patent 1944661 describes an enzymatic process for the preparation of citicoline which involves twice pH adjustment to precipitatethe product,filtration of the solids, charcolisation, washing with pure water, eluting through chloride type ion exchange resin with water ethanol/alcohol reagents, desalting the eluate, decoloring and collecting the liquid, vacuum-concentration of the eluate by adding an alcohol solvent to get the solid to obtain the crude product and dissolving the crude product, microfiltering, ultrafiltering, adding an alcoholic solvent, to obtain the wet productand drying to obtain the final product. The primary disadvantage of this process is that the above reaction involves water and ethanol mixture for elution of ion exchange column and also vacuum concentration of water ethanol mixture which requires high energy, more time, leads to decomposition of product and also leads to the formation of more effluent hence it is not suitable for large scale production.

US20090286284 describes a microbial process for preparation of citicoline. This patent also discloses a process for purification of citicoline by passing through acidic cation exchange and anion exchange resin. The drawback of this process is that in this process citicoline is passed through cation /anion exchange resin in free form which is unstable and liable to formation of unwanted impurities. Therefore for the purification it needs very high volume of resin (200 times) and high volume (100 times) of solvent. This process further needs reconcentration of huge volume of solvents, which is time taking and energy consuming.
Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin 1971, 19(5), 1011-16 describes a process for the preparation of citicoline by direct condensation of cytidine 5-
monophosphate and choline phosphate by using p-toluenesulfonyl chloride or methanesulfonyl chloride combined with DMF. After completion of reaction the mass was diluted with water, pH was adjusted with ammonia solution to 9.5 and product was purified by using Dowex-1 ion exchange resin by eluting with formic acid. Another Chemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin 1971, 19(12), 2499-71 describes a process for the preparation of citicoline by direct condensation cytidine 5-monophosphate and choline phosphate in presence of thionyl chloride and DMF.The product obtained was further purified by using Dowex-1 ion exchange resin by eluting with formic acid.
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1956, 185-191 describes a process for the preparation of citicoline by direct condensation5-cytidylic acid and phosphorylcholine in a mixture of water and pyridine in presence of DCC, stirred for few days by adding DCC in lots, after completion of reaction, reaction mass was diluted with water and filtered. The pH of the filtrate was adjusted 8-9 using 0.5N KOH, diluted further with water and passed through Dowex-1 formate resin by eluting with formic acid and water.
The drawbacks of these processes are that they use hazardous reagents such as p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, methanesulfonyl chloride, thionyl chloride etc. Hence they are not suitable for large scale production. Also, the prior art processes pass citicoline solution, without isolating it, to ion exchange resins for purification. During this process most of the inorganic impurities present along with citicoline or its salt pass through the column, thus making purification difficult.

An improved, three-step synthesis of cytidine diphosphate choline (CDP-choline) from cytidine was achieved in 68% overall yield. Selective phosphorylation of cytidine was accomplished by the use of morpholinophosphodichloridate to give cytidine-5′-phosphomorpholide, which was condensed with choline phosphate chloride in the presence of a catalytic amount of H2SO4 to give CDP-choline. The intermediates and products could be efficiently purified by recrystallisation, thus avoiding the use of chromatography at all stages. The reaction could be scaled up to 200 g in 64% overall yield, making this route attractive for industrial application.
Cytidine diphosphate choline (CDP-choline 1) is a nucleotide coenzyme and serves as a choline donor in the biosynthesis of lipids,1 lecithins,2 and sphingomyelin.3 It is a clinical drug for the treatment of several illnesses involving disturbance of the central nervous system, in particular, for regaining a patient’s consciousness and for treatment of neuropsychic symptoms occurring during skull traumas and brain surgery.4 Among various methods for the synthesis of CDP-choline in the literature, the current preferred method is via the condensation of cytidine-5’-phosphomorpholide (2) with choline phosphate chloride (3) under mild reaction conditions.5–7 Compound 2 was synthesised from 5’-cytidine monophosphate (4) and morpholine in the presence of DCC (N,N’-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide)8 or via the controlled hydrolysis of cytidine-5’-phosphodichloride (5) followed by P–N bond formation with morpholine (Scheme 1, route a).7 However, DCC is toxic and converted into urea which is difficult to separate from the mixture, thus leading to poor purity of product. Furthermore, phosphorylation with POCl3 always meets with side reactions from the 2’ or 3’ hydroxyls and detracts from the acceptance of this method in industry.9 In the context of ongoing projects on the synthesis of nucleoside drugs,10–14 herein we report the synthesis of CDP-choline via the selective phosphorylation of 6 wiResults and discussion Central to our approach for the synthesis of CDP-choline is the selective phosphorylation of 6 using sterically-hindered 7 as phosphorylation regent. 7 was synthesised by the direct phosphorylation of morpholine with POCl3 , a compound whose utility for the conversion of alcohols and amines into various phosphorylation derivatives.15 Due to the reactivity of three chloro atoms in POCl3 , gradually adding POCl3 to excess morpholine avoids the bifunctional reaction exclusively. After reaction, 7 could be purified by fractional distillation to yield as a colourless oil (b.p. 124–126 °C at 1.33 KPa). Due to the presence of the electron-donating morpholino group, 7 displays lower reactivity than POCl3 and could tolerate moisture and air better. Usefully, 7 could be synthesised on the 200 g scale and stored at 4 °C. The major concern of utilising 7 as phosphorylation reagent is its selectivity for the 5’ hydroxyl group. We therefore assessed the selectivity for 5’ hydroxylation using 6 and 7 in the presence of various organic bases. After phosphorylation, H2 O was added to destroy the excess of 7, and 2 was obtained in a single step. The solvent, the base, temperature and the ratio of substrates were evaluated and the results are summarised in Table 1

Cytidine-5′-diphosphocholine (CDP-choline) is a widely used neuroprotective drug for multiple indications. In industry, CDP-choline is synthesized by a two-step cell culture/permeabilized cell biotransformation method because substrates often do not enter cells in an efficient manner. This study develops a novel one-step living cell fermentation method for CDP-choline production. For this purpose, the feasibility of Pichia pastoris as a chassis was demonstrated by substrate feeding and CDP-choline production. Overexpression of choline phosphate cytidylyltransferase and choline kinase enhanced the choline transformation pathway and improved the biosynthesis of CDP-choline. Furthermore, co-overexpression of ScHnm1, which is a heterologous choline transporter, highly improved the utilization of choline substrates, despite its easy degradation in cells. This strategy increased CDP-choline titer by 55-folds comparing with the wild-type (WT). Overexpression of cytidine-5′-monophosphate (CMP) kinase and CDP kinase in the CMP transformation pathway showed no positive effects. An increase in the ATP production by citrate stimulation or metabolic pathway modification further improved CDP-choline biosynthesis by 120%. Finally, the orthogonal optimization of key substrates and pH was carried out, and the resulting CDP-choline titer (6.0 g/L) at optimum conditions increased 88 times the original titer in the WT. This study provides a new paradigm for CDP-choline bioproduction by living cells.

Use as a dietary supplement
Citicoline is available as a supplement in over 70 countries under a variety of brand names: Cebroton, Ceraxon, Cidilin, Citifar, Cognizin, Difosfocin, Hipercol, NeurAxon, Nicholin, Sinkron, Somazina, Synapsine, Startonyl, Trausan, Xerenoos, etc.[5] When taken as a supplement, citicoline is hydrolyzed into choline and cytidine in the intestine.[6] Once these cross the blood–brain barrier it is reformed into citicoline by the rate-limiting enzyme in phosphatidylcholine synthesis, CTP-phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase.[7][8]
Research
Memory and cognition
Studies have failed to confirm any potential benefits of citicoline for cognitive impairment.[9]
Ischemic stroke
Some preliminary research suggested that citicoline may reduce the rates of death and disability following an ischemic stroke.[10][11] However, the largest citicoline clinical trial to date (a randomised, placebo-controlled, sequential trial of 2298 patients with moderate-to-severe acute ischaemic stroke in Europe), found no benefit of administering citicoline on survival or recovery from stroke.[12] A meta-analysis of seven trials reported no statistically significant benefit for long-term survival or recovery.[13]
Vision
The effect of citicoline on visual function has been studied in patients with glaucoma, with possible positive effect for protecting vision.[14]
Mechanism of action
Neuroprotective effects
Citicoline may have neuroprotective effects due to its preservation of cardiolipin and sphingomyelin, preservation of arachidonic acid content of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, partial restoration of phosphatidylcholine levels, and stimulation of glutathione synthesis and glutathione reductase activity. Citicoline’s effects may also be explained by the reduction of phospholipase A2 activity.[15] Citicoline increases phosphatidylcholine synthesis.[16][17][18] The mechanism for this may be:
- By converting 1, 2-diacylglycerol into phosphatidylcholine
- Stimulating the synthesis of SAMe, which aids in membrane stabilization and reduces levels of arachidonic acid. This is especially important after an ischemia, when arachidonic acid levels are elevated.[19]
Neuronal membrane
The brain preferentially uses choline to synthesize acetylcholine. This limits the amount of choline available to synthesize phosphatidylcholine. When the availability of choline is low or the need for acetylcholine increases, phospholipids containing choline can be catabolized from neuronal membranes. These phospholipids include sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine.[15] Supplementation with citicoline can increase the amount of choline available for acetylcholine synthesis and aid in rebuilding membrane phospholipid stores after depletion.[20] Citicoline decreases phospholipase stimulation. This can lower levels of hydroxyl radicals produced after an ischemia and prevent cardiolipin from being catabolized by phospholipase A2.[21][22] It can also work to restore cardiolipin levels in the inner mitochondrial membrane.[21]
Cell signalling
Citicoline enhances cellular communication by increasing the availability of neurotransmitters, including acetylcholine, norepinephrine, and dopamine.[23] In simple terms, the choline component of citicoline is used to create acetylcholine, which is a primary executive neurotransmitter in the human brain. Clinical trials have found that citicoline supplementation improves attention, focus and learning in large part due to the increase in acetylcholine that results.[24]
Glutamate transport
Citicoline lowers increased glutamate concentrations and raises decreased ATP concentrations induced by ischemia. Citicoline also increases glutamate uptake by increasing expression of EAAT2, a glutamate transporter, in vitro in rat astrocytes. It is suggested that the neuroprotective effects of citicoline after a stroke are due in part to citicoline’s ability to decrease levels of glutamate in the brain.[25]
Pharmacokinetics
Citicoline is water-soluble, with more than 90% oral bioavailability.[20] Plasma levels peak one hour after oral ingestion, and a majority of the citicoline is excreted as CO2 in respiration, and again 24 hours after ingestion, where the remaining citicoline is excreted through urine.[26]
Side effects
Citicoline has a very low toxicity profile in animals and humans. Clinically, doses of 2000 mg per day have been observed and approved. Minor transient adverse effects are rare and most commonly include stomach pain and diarrhea.[17][unreliable medical source?] There have been suggestions that chronic citicoline use may have adverse psychiatric effects. However, a meta-analysis of the relevant literature does not support this hypothesis.[27][28] At most, citicoline may exacerbate psychotic episodes or interact with anti-psychotic medication.
Synthesis
In vivo
Phosphatidylcholine is a major phospholipid in eukaryotic cell membranes. Close regulation of its biosynthesis, degradation, and distribution is essential to proper cell function. Phosphatidylcholine is synthesized in vivo by two pathways
- The Kennedy pathway, which includes the transformation of choline to citicoline, by way of phosphorylcholine, to produce phosphatidylcholine when condensed with diacylglycerol.
- Phosphatidylcholine can also be produced by the methylation pathway, where phosphatidylethanolamine is sequentially methylated.[29]
