Herein, we report the encapsulation and release of antimalarial drug quinine (QN) using three nanocarriers, including MCM-41 (1), and its 3-aminopropyl silane (aMCM-41 (2)) and 3-phenylpropyl silane (pMCM-41 (3)) surface functionalized derivatives. The pH and thermal optimization effects on QN adsorption and release from 1, 2 and 3 were investigated.
