The study reports the preparation of the new drug carrier gel system based on poly (itaconic anhydride-co-3, 9-divinyl-2, 4,
8, 10-tetraoxaspiro (5.5) undecane) (PITAU) copolymer and hyaluronic acid (HA-PITAU). In relation with its composition
PITAU has specific conformational structure owing to the unsaturated double bond of 3, 9-divinyl-2, 4, 8, 10-tetraoxaspiro
(5.5) undecane comonomer and the spiroacetal moiety, giving macromolecular chains with network type structures. PITAU is
biocompatible and biodegradable and present pH and temperature sensitivity. Itaconic anhydride (ITA) has been considered
as an alternative to maleic anhydride for introducing polar functionality into polymers. Polymers based on ITA have not
received as much attention as lactic acid derived materials. The composition was confirmed by FTIR spectra, evidencing
the cross linking bridges between copolymer and hyaluronic acid. SEM microscopy and chemical imagining evidence the
homogeneous porous structure of the new 3D network. NIR-chemical imaging technique proves the successful preparation of
polymeric drug delivery system by using indomethacin (IND) as bioactive model substance. The dissolution data revealed the
interdependence of the ratio between the two compounds and attaining optimum loading capacity. In vivo study demonstrated
that HA_ PITAU and HA_ PITAU_IND determined similar blood parameters modifications and biochemical responses with
distilled water, after intraperitoneal administration in mice. Systemic administration of the tested substances in mice did not
modify their immune reactivity comparing with control group. All these results reveal a good in vivo biocompatibility. The
bioactive compound caused a significant antinociceptive effect occurring after 60 minutes and lasts about 3 hours in tail flick
test.
