This invention relates to the field of
biomedical technology and discloses an amphiphilic
nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) + Couplings, nanomicelles and their applications. Amphiphilic NAD+ + Couplings have the following general
structural formula: ; where NAD + R is a hydrophilic group, R is a hydrophobic
antioxidant group, and
phenylboronic acid derivative is the linking bond; R is selected from free radical scavengers,
small molecule organoselenic compounds that mimic the function of
glutathione peroxidase 4,
iron chelating agents, 7-dehydrocholesterol,
royal jelly acid, α-
lipoic acid,
oleic acid, or derivatives of the above molecules. In this invention, NAD... + Conjugates and their self-assembled nanomicelles possess functions such as promoting
DNA repair, maintaining cellular
homeostasis, and delaying aging. Simultaneously, nanomicelles can inhibit
inflammation and
oxidative stress, and can physically encapsulate hydrophobic active drugs, showing broad application prospects in inflammatory diseases, age-related diseases,
organ damage, and the prevention and treatment of toxic side effects from
chemotherapy drugs.
