The present invention relates in general to polymer-bioactive agent conjugates for delivering a bioactive agent to a subject. The polymer-bioactive agent conjugates contain triazole moieties in the polymer backbone and a bioactive moiety selected from quinolones, NSAIDs and mixtures thereof. The present invention also relates to methods for preparing the polymer conjugates using click cycloaddition chemical reactions, to monomer-bioactive agent conjugates suitable for preparing the polymer conjugates, and to pharmaceutical products comprising the polymer conjugates for the post-surgical care to treat or prevent infections, provide analgesia and treat inflammation. |
