sn-Glycero-3-phosphocholine (Choline Alfoscerate) is a precursor in the biosynthesis of brain phospholipids and increases the bioavailability of choline in nervous tissue. sn-Glycero-3-phosphocholine (Choline Alfoscerate) has significant effects on cognitive function with a good safety profile and tolerability, and is effective in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and dementia[1][2].
Treatment with sn-Glycero-3-phosphocholine (Choline Alfoscerate) (250 mg/kg; i.m.; daily for 3 weeks) after seizure can improve seizure-induced cognitive impairment[2].sn-Glycero-3-phosphocholine (Choline Alfoscerate) increases the release of acetylcholine in rat hippocampus, facilitates learning and memory in experimental animals, improves brain transduction mechanisms and decreases age-dependent structural changes occurring in rat brain areas involved in learning and memory[3].
