Overview
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) is a ubiquitous co-enzyme that drives oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis, and DNA-repair signaling in all living cells. Declining intracellular NAD⁺ levels are linked to metabolic dysfunction, neurodegeneration, and age-related decline, making exogenous NAD⁺ a prime focus for researchers exploring longevity science.
NAD⁺ Molecular Characteristics
- Chemical Formula: C₁₁H₁₅N₅O₁₂P₂ (repeating unit; oxidized dinucleotide mass: 663.4 g/mol)
- CAS Number: 53-84-9
- PubChem CID: 5893
- Synonyms: β-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, co-enzyme I
Mechanisms of Action
NAD⁺ serves as:
- An electron carrier in mitochondrial respiration (Complex I → Complex V).
- A substrate for sirtuin (SIRT1–7) deacetylases regulating metabolic gene expression.
- A cosubstrate for PARP enzymes mediating DNA-strand break repair.
- A precursor for cyclic ADP-ribose, influencing calcium homeostasis.
Research Areas
- Mitochondrial Bioenergetics & ATP Production – Restores NAD⁺/NADH ratios, improving oxidative phosphorylation efficiency.[1][2]
- Healthy Aging & Senescence Modulation – Elevates SIRT1 activity, delays cellular senescence, and enhances autophagic flux in age-model studies.[3][4][5]
- Neuroprotection & Cognitive Function – Guards dopaminergic neurons, reduces neuroinflammation, and improves synaptic plasticity in preclinical Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s models.[6][7][8]
- Metabolic & Cardiovascular Support – Improves insulin sensitivity, lipid metabolism, and endothelial function in metabolic syndrome research.[9][10][11]
- DNA Repair & Genomic Stability – Fuels PARP-mediated base-excision repair and boosts cellular resilience against UV and oxidative damage.[12][13]
- Inflammation & Immune Regulation – Modulates NF-κB signaling and enhances innate immunity via NAD⁺-dependent enzymes.[14][15]
