Cytidine diphosphate, abbreviated CDP, is a nucleotide. It is an ester of pyrophosphoric acid with the nucleosidecytidine. CDP consists of the pyrophosphategroup, the pentosesugarribose, and the nucleobasecytosine.

Cytidinediphosphate diglyceride analogs of antiretroviral dideoxynucleosides: evidence for release of dideoxynucleoside-monophosphates by phospholipid biosynthetic enzymes in rat liver subcellular fractions.
Dideoxynucleoside analogs of cytidinediphosphate diglyceride (CDP-DG) represent one class of such phospholipid prodrugs from which the antiviral active principle may be released through established pathways of cellular phospholipid metabolism.
In all three biosynthetic pathways dideoxycytidine diphosphate diglyceride was the most active donor of the phosphatidyl unit.
CTP is the source of the cytidine in RNA (ribonucleic acid) and deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP) is the source of the deoxycytidine in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
CytidineDiphosphate (CDP): a nucleotide, the 5'-pyrophosphate of cytidine, acting as a carrier of choline and ethanolamine in the phospholipid synthesis.
Cytidine Triphosphate (CTP): a nucleotide, the 5'-triphosphate of cytidine; precursor in the synthesis of ribonucleic acid and of CDP- and CMP-linked compounds.
