In the in vivo hamster model, curc-E-PLGA-NPs also showed leishmanicidal activity, individually or associated with miltefosine. The synergy evidenced between these drugs (i) increased the production of toxic

• > CuFe2O4/silicalite. CuFe2O4/HYPS showed the highest percentage cumulative cisplatin release of 80% over 72 h. The study shows the positive synergism of spherical silica HYPS with CuFe2O4 for cisplatin release under acidic tumor conditions. CuFe2O4/silicalite showed about 50% decreased cisplatin release

• compared to the HYPS support. The percentage release was about 46% and 39%, which indicates the positive effect of CuFe2O4/HYPS with respect to the cisplatin release rate. The trend signifies the importance of synergism between CuFe2O4, cisplatin and HYPS, which helps to release more cisplatin (Figure 7
