Objective: Systematization of the array of publications on cytidyldiphosphocholine (CDP-choline).
Material And Methods: Systematic computer analysis of all currently available publications on CDP-choline (1750 publications in PUBMED) using the topological theory of big data analysis.
Results: CDP-choline is essential for acetylcholine biosynthesis, phospholipid metabolism, and DNA methylation. The article describes the effects of CDP-choline on acetylcholinergic and other types of neurotransmission, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and neurotrophic effects of CDP-choline. Also, the paper presents the effects of the molecule on lipid metabolism and gene expression within the post-genomic paradigm (in particular, an increase in the expression of nicotinic and muscarinic acetylcholine receptors). The results of fundamental and clinical studies of CDP-choline in the treatment of cognitive impairments associated with cerebral ischemia and neurodegeneration are presented.
Conclusion: The pharmacological effects of CDP-choline are mediated through multiple molecular mechanisms that contribute to the nootropic action of this molecule.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor that poses multiple risks to human health. In particular, the potential adverse effects of maternal exposure to BPA on offspring warrant further investigation. In this study, pregnant mice were exposed to BPA throughout gestation and the effects of BPA on placental function, fetal development, and health risks in adult offspring were assessed.

In a number of clinical studies, Recognan (citicoline) has demonstrated its effectiveness in patients with ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, cognitive disorders of various origins, in the complex therapy of asthenic and anxiety-depressive disorders, showing neuroprotective and neuropreparative properties. In recent years, emphasis has been placed on citicoline appointment in the complex therapy of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). In experimental (induced DM2) and clinical studies of patients with cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) and DM2, the effectiveness of Recogan (citicoline) against diabetic retinopathy and diabetic polyneuropathy in more significant clinical changes and negative dynamics absence of important laboratory parameters (blood glucose levels) in acute and stroke recovery periods in patients with DM2.

During ageing, the brain is vulnerable to a growing imbalance of the antioxidant defence system, resulting in increased oxidative stress. This condition may be mainly responsible for cognitive decline, resulting in synaptic transmission disruptions and the onset of neuronal dysfunction. In this context, developing efficient preventive and therapeutic strategies against increased oxidative stress and decreased antioxidant defence mechanisms should be considered a public health priority to promote healthy ageing.

Article Synopsis
- * The study examined the effects of imipramine (a tricyclic antidepressant) and citicoline (a potential new treatment) on pain behavior in nerve-ligated mice using pain tests.
- * Results showed that both drugs reduced pain sensitivity, and when given together, citicoline enhanced the pain-relieving effects of imipramine, indicating a beneficial interaction.

Article Synopsis
- Citicoline is a naturally occurring compound in the body that helps synthesize phosphatidylcholine, crucial for neuron membrane integrity, and has shown neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects in various brain injury and neurodegenerative models.
- Its anti-inflammatory action involves stabilizing cell membranes, reducing harmful glutamate release, and decreasing the production of free radicals and inflammatory cytokines, alongside modulating microglia activity and inhibiting NF-κB activation.
- Clinical trials on citicoline for conditions like ischemic stroke, head trauma, glaucoma, and age-related memory impairment have mixed results, but many studies indicate it may improve neurological functions and cognitive health, warranting further research on dosage, treatment duration, and patient selection.
