    Description

    Citicoline sodium is an endogenous intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine which is a component of cell membranes. Citicoline sodium inhibits reactive oxygen species (ROS) and apoptosis. Citicoline sodium can be used for neurological disease and hearing loss study[1][2][3].

    In Vitro

    Citicoline (1-100 μM, 24 h or 24 h before glutamate treatment) sodium increases rats retinal cells viability after glutamate-induced excitotoxicity, and has synergistic effects with Tramiprosate (Homotaurine) (HY-14602)[1].
    Citicoline (100 μM, 24 h before glutamate treatment and 30 min before HG treatment) sodium decreases proapoptotic effects associated with neuroretinal degeneration such as glutamate-induced excitotoxicity and high glucose (HG)-induced neurotoxicity, and has synergistic effects with Tramiprosate in rats retinal cells[1].
    Citicoline (100 μM, 36-48 h) sodium reduces apoptosis in mice cochlear hair cells (HCs) and HEI-OC-1 cells after Neomycin (HY-150520) exposure, decreases the mRNA level of pro-apoptotic factor and increases anti-apoptotic factor, suppresses proapoptotic protein expression[2][3].
    Citicoline (100 μM, 36-48 h) sodium attenuates oxidative stress in mice cochlear HCs and HEI-OC-1 cells after Neomycin injury[3].

    Cell Viability Assay[1]

    Cell Line: Rat retinal cells
    Concentration: 1, 10, 100 μM
    Incubation Time: 24 h or 24 h before glutamate treatment (100 μM)
    Result: Did not affect viability of primary retinal cultures.
    Significantly increased cell viability after glutamate-induced excitotoxicity, and had synergistic effects with homotaurine.

    Apoptosis Analysis[1]

    Cell Line: Rat retinal cells
    Concentration: 100 μM
    Incubation Time: 24 h before glutamate treatment and 30 min before HG treatment
    Result: Reduced apoptosis induced by administration of glutamate and HG, and had synergistic effects with homotaurine.

    Apoptosis Analysis[3]

    Cell Line: HEI-OC-1, mice cochlear tissue
    Concentration: 10 μM
    Incubation Time: 36 or 48 h (pretreatment for 12 h and then treated with 10 mM neomycin together for 12 and 24 h in cochlear tissue and HEI-OC-1, respectively, then allowed to recover in culture medium for another 12
    Result: Showed significantly lower numbers of cleaved caspase 3-positive cells and TUNEL-positive cells than the neomycin-only group.
    Significantly reduced the percentage of apoptosis.
    The protein levels of cleaved caspase 3 were decreased compared with the Neomycin-only group.
    Decreased the pro-apoptotic factor Bax, Casp3, Casp8, and Casp9, and increased anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2 by qPT-PCR analysis.
    In Vivo

    Citicoline (500-1000 mg/kg; i.p.; 1 h before test) sodium produces an anticonvulsant effect in pentylenetetrazole induced convulsion in male C57Bl/6 mice[2].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    Animal Model: Male C57Bl/6 mice (23-27 g) (The solution of convulsant pentylenetetrazole (1%) was infused intravenously at a flow rate of 0.01 ml/sec.)[2]
    Dosage: 500, 1000 mg/kg
    Administration: Intraperitoneal injection (i.p.); 1 h before test
    Result: Increased the threshold of clonic seizures and tonic phase of seizures with lethal outcome in a dose of 500 mg/kg.
    The anticonvulsant effect was most pronounced in a dose of 1000 mg/kg.

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
