Cytidine (symbol C or Cyd) is a nucleoside molecule that is formed when cytosine is attached to a ribose ring (also known as a ribofuranose) via a β-N₁-glycosidic bond. Cytidine is a component of RNA. It is a white water-soluble solid^[2] that is only slightly soluble in ethanol.^[1]

Dietary sources

Dietary sources of cytidine include foods with high RNA (ribonucleic acid) content,^[3] such as organ meats, brewer's yeast, as well as pyrimidine-rich foods such as beer. During digestion, RNA-rich foods are broken-down into ribosyl pyrimidines (cytidine and uridine), which are absorbed intact.^[3] In humans, dietary cytidine is converted into uridine,^[4] which is probably the compound behind cytidine's metabolic effects.

Cytidine analogues

A variety of cytidine analogues are known, some with potentially useful pharmacology. For example, KP-1461 is an anti-HIV agent that works as a viral mutagen,^[5] and zebularine exists in E. coli and is being examined for chemotherapy. Low doses of azacitidine and its analog decitabine have shown results against cancer through epigenetic demethylation.^[6]

Biological actions

In addition to its role as a pyrimidine component of RNA, cytidine has been found to control neuronal-glial glutamate cycling, with supplementation decreasing midfrontal/cerebral glutamate/glutamine levels.^[7] As such, cytidine has generated interest as a potential glutamatergic antidepressant drug.^[7]

Related compounds

Deoxycytidine is cytosine attached to a deoxyribose.
