Citicoline is a complex organic molecule that functions as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of cell membrane phospholipids. Citicoline is also known as CDP-choline and cytidine diphosphate choline (cytidine 5'-diphosphocholine). CDP-choline belongs to the group of biomolecules in living systems known as "nucleotides" that play important roles in cellular metabolism. The basic structure of a nucleotide contains ribose with a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group. CDP-choline is composed of ribose, pyrophosphate, cytosine (a nitrogenous base), and choline.
