Citicoline sodium
Description
Citicoline sodium (CAS 33818-15-4) is the sodium salt form of citicoline, a naturally occurring nucleotide derivative used as an active pharmaceutical ingredient in neurological and cognitive health applications.
Its stable, water-soluble salt form makes it the preferred commercial supply format for both finished dosage manufacturing and clinical formulation development across the global pharmaceutical industry.
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, this compound is formulated into oral tablets, capsules, and injectable solutions targeting cognitive impairment, stroke recovery, and various complex neurological disorders.
Nutraceutical and functional food producers incorporate it into cognitive support supplements and nootropic blends where brain health positioning is a primary commercial driver for the end consumer.
Contract research organizations and biotech labs source it as a reference standard or active compound in CNS-focused preclinical studies and large-scale clinical trials for new drug development.
It also appears in medical nutrition products designed for post-stroke or age-related cognitive decline management, providing essential support for patients requiring specialized dietary interventions.
The material is supplied as a white to off-white hygroscopic powder. Pharmaceutical-grade material is available to USP and EP specifications, with purity levels typically at 98% or above.
Bulk quantities are offered for industrial manufacturing, with smaller research-grade quantities available for formulation development and QC use to meet specific laboratory requirements.
