Cytidine is a pyrimidine nucleoside that is composed of the base cytosine linked to the five-carbon sugar d-ribose. There are a variety of cytidine analogs with potentially useful pharmacology .
Application Notes
Cytidine when intraperitoneal administered in combination with choline improves nerve regeneration and functional recovery in a rat model of sciatic nerve injury. Used as an ex vivo drug selectable marker in gene-modified primary bone marrow stromal cells for cytidine deaminase assay.
