Drug localisation is still one of the main challenges in treating pathologies affecting cartilage; poly-beta-amino-esters (PBAEs) drug conjugates are a possible solution; however, their efficacy highly depends on the polymer structure hence the full potential of this delivery system is still unknown. For the purpose of optimising the delivery system design, a large library of PBAEs was synthesised and dexamethasone (DEX) uptake in cartilage was determined. All three components of PBAE (amine, acrylate and end-capping) impacted the outcome. The most effective PBAE identified enhanced DEX uptake by 8 folds compared to an equivalent dose of the commercial formulation and also prevented, through delivery of DEX, the cartilage degradation caused by IL-1 alpha (interleukine1 alpha). A chemometrics based predictive model was constructed and PBAEs properties most affecting the performance of the drug delivery systems were identified. This model will allow further computer based PBAEs optimisation and fast track the bench to market process for this delivery system.
