Overview

Analytical study reveals surface plasmon resonance-based amoxicillin detection in pharmaceuticals using plant-synthesized silver nanoparticles, indicating a viable green chemistry approach.

Key Points

  • To develop and validate a green colorimetric quantification method for amoxicillin in pharmaceutical formulations using silver nanoparticles synthesized from Psidium guajava leaf extract.
  • Synthesized silver nanoparticles using guava leaf extract (AgNPs-GuLE) and optimized assay parameters including pH (4–4.5), nanoparticle-to-analyte volume ratio (1:1), and buffer concentration (160 mM).
  • Characterized nanoparticle aggregation mechanisms in the presence of amoxicillin using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM).
  • Validated the analytical method across commercial pharmaceutical dosage forms including capsules, tablets, and powders.
  • The assay achieved a linear detection range of 2–10 mg/L with a limit of detection of 2.5 mg/L and a limit of quantification of 2.7 mg/L.
  • Method precision and accuracy demonstrated an analytical recovery rate of 108.8% (± 6.3%), repeatability relative standard deviation (RSDr) of 2.8%, and intermediate precision (RSDI) of 6.5%.
  • Quantification of commercial amoxicillin formulations met standard regulatory thresholds, yielding recoveries within the acceptable 90–110% range.
