Both reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and beta-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate (NAD(+)) have been reported to have potent neuroprotective effects against ischemic neuronal injury. Both NADPH and NAD(+) are essential cofactors for anti-oxidation and cellular energy metabolism. We investigated if combined NADPH and NAD(+) could offer better neuroprotective effects on cellular and animal models of ischemic stroke. In vitro studies with primary cultured neurons demonstrated that NAD(+) was effective in protecting neurons against oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) injury when given during the early time period of reoxygenation. In vivo studies in mice also suggested that NAD(+) was effective for ameliorating ischemic brain damage when administered within 2 h after reperfusion. The combination of NADPH and NAD(+) provided not only greater beneficial effects but also larger therapeutic window in both cellular and animal models of stroke. The combination of NADPH and NAD(+) significantly increased the levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative damage of macromolecules. Furthermore, the combined medication significantly reduced long-term mortality, improved the functional recovery, and inhibited signaling pathways involved in apoptosis and necroptosis after ischemic stroke. The present study indicates that the combination of NAD(+) and NADPH can produce greater therapeutic effects with smaller dose of NADPH; on the other hand, NADPH can significantly prolong the therapeutic window of NAD(+). The current results suggest that the combination of NADPH and NAD(+) may provide a novel effective therapy for ischemic stroke.
