Abstract

In the present study, tobramycin stabilized silver nanoparticles (Tob-AgNPs) were effectively synthesized in an aqueous medium by well-organized one-pot technique and successfully employed for the ultra-fast catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and 4-nitroaniline (4-NA). Moreover, the perfection was attained in percent reduction of toxic 4-NP, 4-NA and their mixtures by changing and adjusting reaction period, quantity and concentration of catalyst. Interestingly, this research has shown that comprehensive ~ 99.9% reduction of nitroaromatic was achieved in short reaction time (60 s) by proficient Tob-AgNPs. Remarkably, the calculated rate constant (K) value for 4-NP, 4-NA and their mixtures catalytic reduction was achieved in 7 × 10−2 S−1, 10 × 10−2 S−1 and 8 × 10−2 S−1, respectively by plotting lnC versus time (s). Subsequently, the antibacterial efficacy of Tob-AgNPs was assessed alongside for the selected gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. The in vitro antibacterial activity of Tob-AgNPs clearly showed potential antibacterial property against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus compared with standard antibiotics. Thereby, these Tob-AgNPs may be potential candidates for the development of new bioactive materials for pathogenic microorganisms after further analysis to identify the active principles.
