Multi-Functional Nanoparticle System for Delivery of NAD+ Precursors, Sirtuin Activators, Senolytic Agents, and Stem Cells with pH-Responsive Release

Abstract

Disclosed is a multi-functional nanoparticle delivery system comprising a biodegradable core of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) or calcium phosphate (CaP), encapsulating a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) precursor and a sirtuin activator. Surrounding the core is a liposomal or polymeric layer containing one or more senolytic agents, and an outer layer of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for targeted delivery, external manipulation, and imaging. In some embodiments, the nanoparticle surface is functionalized for conjugation with autologous mesenchymal stem cells to enhance homing and regenerative potential. The system is pH-responsive, releasing its payload in acidic microenvironments typical of senescent or diseased cells, while remaining stable at physiological pH. This integrated design supports NAD+ restoration, sirtuin activation, senescent cell clearance, and tissue regeneration. Applications include treatment of age-related diseases, regenerative medicine, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disorders, and cosmetic skin rejuvenation.
