Pyroptosis, systemic inflammation, and mitochondrial apoptosis are the three primary contributors to sepsis's multiple organ failure, the ultimate cause of high clinical mortality. Currently, the drugs under development only target a single pathogenesis, which is obviously insufficient. In this study, an acid‐responsive hollow mesoporous polydopamine (HMPDA) nanocarrier that is highly capable of carrying both the hydrophilic drug NAD + and the hydrophobic drug BAPTA‐AM, with its outer layer being sealed by the inflammatory targeting peptide PEG‐LSA, is developed. Once targeted to the region of inflammation, HMPDA begins depolymerization, releasing the drugs NAD + and BAPTA‐AM. Depletion of polydopamine on excessive reactive oxygen species production, promotion of ATP production and anti‐inflammation by NAD + replenishment, and chelation of BAPTA (generated by BA‐AM hydrolysis) on overloaded Ca 2+ can comprehensively block the three stages of sepsis, i.e., precisely inhibit the activation of pyroptosis pathway (NF‐ κ B‐NLRP3‐ASC‐Casp‐1), inflammation pathway (IL‐1 β , IL‐6, and TNF‐ α ), and mitochondrial apoptosis pathway (Bcl‐2/Bax‐Cyt‐C‐Casp‐9‐Casp‐3), thereby restoring intracellular homeostasis, saving the cells in a state of “critical survival,” further reducing LPS‐induced systemic inflammation, finally restoring the organ functions. In conclusion, the synthesis of this agent provides a simple and effective synergistic drug delivery nanosystem, which demonstrates significant therapeutic potential in a model of LPS‐induced sepsis.
