Pharmacotherapeutic group: Other psychostimulants and nootropics. Citicoline stimulates the biosynthesis of structural phospholipids of the neuronal membrane as it is demonstrated in the magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies. Citicoline, through this action, improves the function of the membrane mechanisms, such as the functioning of the ionic exchange pumps and receptors inserted in the latter, the modulation of which is indispensable in neurotransmission. Citicoline due to its membrane stabilising activity has properties which favour brain oedema reabsorption. Experimental studies have shown that Citicoline inhibits the activation of some phospholipases (A1, A2, C and D), reducing the formation of free radicals, avoiding the destruction of membranous systems and preserving antioxidant defence systems as glutathione. Citicoline preserves the neuronal energetic reserve, inhibits apoptosis and stimulates acetylcholine synthesis. It has been experimentally shown that Citicoline also exerts a prophylactic neuroprotective effect in focal brain ischemic models. Clinical trials have shown that Citicoline significantly increases the functional evolution of patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular accident, coinciding with a lower growth of the brain ischemic injury in neuroimaging tests. In patients with craniocerebral traumatisms, citicoline speeds up their recuperation and reduces the duration and intensity of the post-concussional syndrome. Citicoline improves the level of attention and consciousness and acts favourably over amnesia and cognitive and neurological disorders associated with brain ischemia.
