AB  - INTRODUCTION: Inflammation  process  in  human  body  can  lead  to  many serious inflammation-related  diseases. Hence, there are urge to find better solution for the treatment of the inflammation processes. Solution can be found in application  ofpoly(methacrylicacid)  hydrogels  which  have  potential  for  targeted  delivery  and  controlled  release  of drugs. These pH-sensitive hydrogelscan swell at the pH values between 5 and 8,and release drug in the process. So,taking into account that pH value at the inflammation site is around 6, these hydrogels are materials of choice. It  is  very  important thatthe system  for  controlled  releasebe  prepared  through mild  and  non-toxic  conditions  in order to preserve bioactivity of the drug andkeep good impact on environment. Enzymes are good candidates for eco-friendly preparation of hydrogels, because these greensubstancescan initiate polymerisation of various monomers. 
EXPERIMENTAL (or Materials and Methods):In this study, hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) were prepared through  eco-friendly  method  by  using enzyme/hydrogen  peroxide(HP)/ascorbic  acid(AA)as  initiator.  Two  groupsof the samples were prepared: in the first group peroxidase isolated from potato peel waste (with activity of 0.8 IU) was used in the initiation system, whereas in the second group peroxidase isolated from soya bean coats (with activity of 0.8  IU) was  employed  in  the  initiation  system.  The  amounts  of HPand AAin  both  series  were  40  μL  and  10  mg, respectively.Anti-inflammatory drugs,dexamethasone(5 mg/mL)and diclofenac(4.5 mg/mL)were encapsulated in the first and the second group of the PMAA samples, respectively. Anti-inflammatory  effect of the PMAA hydrogels  with encapsulated drugs were tested on the Bovine Chondrocytes cells.
RESULTS  AND  DISCUSSION:Results  showed  that  the  level  of  pro-inflammatory  mediators  NO  and  IL-8  decreased. The PCR analysis showed that the proinflammatory TNα, IL-6 genesexpression level decreased, the matrix catabolism MMP1and MMP3 genesexpression level decreased and the fibrotic COL2 and ACAN genes expression level increased.
CONCLUSIONS:The studyshowed that the PMAA hydrogels have anti-inflammatory effect and have potential for treatment of the inflammation processes.
