Abstract

Herein, we presented the synthesis and application of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate–based silver nanoparticles (termed as SDBS-AgNPs). The SDBS reverse micelles (RMs) in ethanol was used as nanoreactor for green AgNPs synthesis. The size, structure, and shape of SDBS-AgNPs were well distinct by UV/visible (UV/Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques. The SDBS-AgNPs were quite stable even at high temperature (80 °C), salt concentration (up to 300 μM), and wide pH range (2 to 12). Moreover, SDBS-AgNPs were found to be highly sensitive and selective colorimetric sensor for antihypertensive drug amlodipine (AML). The interaction of AML with SDBS-AgNPs resulted as a substantial increase in the absorbance and a prominent blue shift in wavelength from 426 to 400 nm. DLS results were further confirmed that the SDBS-AgNPs break into smaller sized particles. Similarly, FTIR results also verified the SDBS-AgNPs etching–based sensing of AML molecules due to the strong attraction by amine and carbonyl functional groups on the target drug. The proposed sensor exhibited linear response in the range of 0.001–200 μM (R2 = 0.9917) with limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) of 0.161 and 0.49 μM, respectively. The probe remained selective against AML, even in the presence of equimolar interfering species (including other drugs and metal ions). Furthermore, findings proposed that the SDBS-AgNPs might be used as effective substitute to minimize infection severity by obstructing the biofilm formation against nosocomial and urinary tract infection (UTI) causing pathogens.
