| Description | Glycerophosphocholine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glycerophosphocholines. These are lipids containing a glycerol moiety carrying a phosphocholine at the 3-position. Alpha-GPC rapidly delivers choline to the brain across the blood–brain barrier and is a biosynthetic precursor of acetylcholine. Glycerophosphocholine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). L-Alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (alpha-GPC, choline alfoscerate) is a natural choline compound found in the brain. An Italian multicentre clinical trial on 2,044 patients suffering from recent stroke were supplied alpha-GPC in doses of 1,000 mg/day for 28 days and 400 mg three times per day for the five ensuing months. Glycerophosphocholine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Alpha-GPC may also be derived in small amounts from highly purified soy lecithin as well from purified sunflower lecithin. Within humans, glycerophosphocholine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, glycerophosphocholine can be biosynthesized from 11-cis-retinol and PC(24:1(15Z)/15:0) Through the action of the enzyme lecithin retinol acyltransferase. In addition, retinyl ester and glycerophosphocholine can be biosynthesized from vitamin a and PC(24:1(15Z)/15:0); Which is catalyzed by the enzyme lecithin retinol acyltransferase. In humans, glycerophosphocholine is involved in retinol metabolism. The trial confirmed the therapeutic role of alpha-GPC on the cognitive recovery of patients based on four measurement scales, three of which reached statistical significance. It is also a parasympathomimetic acetylcholine precursor which has been investigated for its potential for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. It is a non-prescription drug in most countries. alpha-gpc is found in Homo sapiens and Mus musculus. alpha-gpc was first documented in 2012 (PMID: 22098372). The FDA determined that intake of no more than 196.2 Mg/person/day is considered generally recognized as safe (GRAS) (PMID: 25087032) (PMID: 23497994). |
