In clinical ophthalmology, oxidative stress has been proposed as the initiating cause of ocular hypertension, which is one of the risk factors for glaucomatous damage and disease progression. In an attempt to improve the therapeutic efficacy of intracamerally administered pilocarpine, herein, a cytoprotective antiglaucoma drug delivery system composed of antioxidant gallic acid (GA)-functionalized gelatin-g-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (GN) biodegradable in situ gelling copolymer was developed for the first time. Analyses by UV-vis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies showed the formation of biopolymer antioxidant covalent linkages in GNGA structures through a radical reaction in the presence of water-soluble redox initiators. The synthesized GNGA polymers with strong free radical scavenging effectiveness exhibited appropriate phase transition temperature and degradation rate as injectable bioerodible depots for minimally invasive pilocarpine delivery to the ocular anterior chamber. During the 2-week in vitro study, the sustained releases of sufficient amounts of pilocarpine for a therapeutic action in alleviating ocular hypertension could be achieved under physiological conditions. Results of cell viability, intracellular reactive oxygen species level, and intracellular calcium concentration indicated that the incorporation of antioxidant GA into GN structure can enhance cytoprotective effects of carrier materials against hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative stress in lens epithelial cultures. Effective pharmacological responses (i.e., reduction of intraocular pressure and preservation of corneal endothelial cell morphology and density) in rabbits receiving intracameral GNGA injections containing pilocarpine were evidenced by clinical observations. The findings of in vivo studies also support the hypothesis that the GNGA carriers are more advantageous over their GN counterparts for the improvement of total antioxidant status in glaucomatous eyes with chronic ocular hypertension. The synthesized multifunctional molecules may be further used as potential polymer therapeutics for intraocular delivery of bioactive agents.
