CDP

Cytidine 5'-diphosphate trisodium salt (CDP) catalyzes the production of Cytidine triphosphate (CTP) for DNA and RNA synthesis by transferring a phosphoryl group from ATP to cytidine monophosphate (CMP) through the action of uridine monophosphate kinase (UMPK).

Citicoline (CDP-Choline) is an intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a component of cell membranes. Citicoline exerts neuroprotective effects.

Citicoline sodium (CDP-choline) is an endogenous intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine. It also serves as a choline donor in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Citicoline sodium demonstrates protective effects in cerebral ischemia, traumatic brain injury, and memory disorders. Exogenous administration of citicoline to rodents (500 mg/kg i.p. immediately after ischemia and at 3-h reperfusion) has been shown to stimulate the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and cardiolipin and to attenuate the release of arachidonic acid and the accumulation of ceramide.

Inostamycin A, a bacterial metabolite isolated from Streptomyces with antimicrobial and anticancer activity, is a selective inhibitor of CDP-diacylglycerol:inositol 3-phosphatidyltransferase, thereby blocking the phosphatidylinositol turnover.Inostamycin A induces apoptosis in cancer cells and exhibits concentration-dependent cytotoxicity in a variety of cancer cell lines.

2'-Deoxycytidine-5'-diphosphate trisodium (dCDP) is used as a substrate of CDP (nucleoside diphosphate) kinase (2.7.4.6) for the production of dCTP to support DNA biosynthesis and reverse transcription.

Citicoline sodium (Standard) is the standard substance of Citicoline sodium, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. Citicoline sodium (CDP-choline) is an endogenous intermediate in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine. It also serves as a choline donor in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Citicoline sodium demonstrates protective effects in cerebral ischemia, traumatic brain injury, and memory disorders. Exogenous administration of citicoline to rodents (500 mg/kg i.p. immediately after ischemia and at 3-h reperfusion) has been shown to stimulate the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin, and cardiolipin and to attenuate the release of arachidonic acid and the accumulation of ceramide.

Inostamycin A sodium is an antibiotic that can be found in Streptomyces sp. MH816-AF15. It blocks the turnover of phosphatidylinositol by inhibiting CDP-DG:inositol transferase, demonstrating both antibacterial and cytotoxic properties. Inostamycin A sodium shows potential for cancer research.
