Ferroptosis is a vital driver of pathophysiological consequences Alzheimer's disease (AD). High-efficiency pharmacological inhibition ferroptosis requires comprehensive coordination diverse abnormal intracellular events, which an urgent problem and great challenge for its application in AD treatment. Herein, triphenylphosphonium-modified quercetin-derived smart nanomedicine (TQCN) developed multipronged anti-ferroptosis therapy AD. Taking advantage the favorable brain-targeting mitochondria-locating properties, TQCN can efficiently chelate iron through phytopolyphenol-mediated spontaneous self-assemble into metal-phenolic nanocomplexes situ, exerting escalating exogenous offensive effects to attenuate overload induced free radical burst. Meanwhile, Nrf2 signaling-mediated endogenous defensive system reconstituted restore metabolism homeostasis represented by export storage enhance cytoprotective antioxidant cascades lipid peroxidation detoxification. Benefiting from multifaceted regulation pathogenic processes triggering ferroptosis, treatment ameliorate various neurodegenerative manifestations associated with brain deposition rescue severe cognitive decline mice. This work displays promise situ self-assembled phytopolyphenol-coordinated intelligent nanotherapeutics as advanced candidates against ferroptosis-driven progression.

Insurmountable blood‒brain barrier (BBB) and complex pathological features are the key factors affecting treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Poor accumulation drugs in lesion sites undesired effectiveness simply reducing Aβ deposition or TAU protein need to be resolved urgently. Herein, a nanocleaner is designed with rapamycin-loaded ROS-responsive PLGA core surface modification KLVFF peptide acid-cleavable DAG [R@(ox-PLGA)-KcD]. can enhance targeting internalization effect towards neurovascular unit endothelial cells AD lesions, subsequently detach from response acidic microenvironment endosomes promote transcytosis into brain parenchyma. Then exposed capture carry microglia, attenuating Aβ-induced neurotoxicity. Strikingly, rapamycin, an autophagy promoter, rapidly liberated high ROS level lesions improve degradation normalize inflammatory condition. This design altogether accelerates alleviates oxidative stress excessive response. Collectively, our finding offers strategy target precisely multi-pronged therapies for clearing toxic proteins modulating microenvironment, achieve efficient therapy.
