There is provided a process for the preparation of composition in the form of a plurality of particles having a weight-, number-, and/or volume-based mean diameter that is between amount 10 nm and about 700 μm, which particles comprise: (a) solid cores, preferably comprising a biologically active agent; and (b) two or more sequentially applied, discrete layers, each of which comprises at least one separately applied coating material, and which two or more layers together surround, enclose and/or encapsulate said cores, which process comprises the sequential steps of: (1) applying an initial layer of at least one coating material to said solid cores by way of a gas phase deposition technique; (2) discharging the coated particles from the gas phase deposition reactor and subjecting the coated particles to agitation to disaggregate particle aggregates formed during step (1) by way of mechanical sieving technique; (3) reintroducing the disaggregated, coated particles from step (2) into the gas phase deposition reactor and applying a further layer of at least one coating material to the reintroduced particles; and (1) optionally repeating steps (2) and (3) one or more times to increase the total thickness of the at least one coating material that enclose(s) said solid core. The gas phase deposition technique is preferably atomic layer deposition. When the cores comprise biologically active agent, the compositions may provide for the delayed or sustained release of said active agent without a burst effect.

The disclosure relates to in vivo and ex vivo uses of dihydronicotinamide riboside (NRH), dihydronicotinic acid riboside (NARH) and reduced derivatives thereof to treat immune-related disorders (e.g., systemic inflammatory response syndrome and sepsis), kidney disorders (e.g., acute kidney injury and hepatorenal syndrome [HRS]), liver disorders (e.g., acute liver failure and HRS), hemolytic disorders (e.g., hemolysis and hemolytic anemia), and disorders and conditions associated with oxidative stress, damage or injury (e.g., methemoglobinemia and anemia). NRH, NARH and reduced derivatives thereof can be used in vivo or ex vivo alone or in combination with one or more additional therapeutic agents, such as an anti-inflammatory agent or/and an antioxidant.
