Sumario:Nucleotides and sugar nucleotides from coelomic oocytes of Bufo arenarum were extracted with trichloroacetic acid and analyzed by ion-exchange chromatography. The hypoxanthine and guanine were sequencially eluted from the column with water. Nucleotides and sugar nucleotides were eluted with a linear gradient of ammonium chloride. The first peak of ultraviolet adsorption eluted from the resin was a complex mixture of at least three substances. The main component was identified as cytidine diphosphocholine by chemical, enzymatic, and chromatographic analyses. Preliminary experiments suggest a possible role for this compound during oogenesis, since immature oocytes incubated in vitro with [14C]choline showed an active metabolism of this substance with rapid incorporation in choline phosphate, cytidine diphosphocholine, and lecithin. © 1977.
