Abstract
Mathematical manipulation technique has proven to be a very powerful tool for efficient processing and handling of highly overlapped spectra. This work introduced two green and sustainable approaches for the successful recovery of the ternary mixture, Tylosin tartarate (TYL), Sulfadimdine (SLD), and Trimethoprim (TRI). The approaches were constructed using three different methods, derivative ratio spectrum zero-crossing method (DRSZ), double divisor ratio spectra derivative method (DDRD), and factorized derivative ratio method coupled with spectrum subtraction (FDRM-SS). The two approaches succeeded in recovering the three drugs (Linearity range achieved were 0.5-5 µg/mL for TYL, 0.3-1.3 µg/mL for SLD, and 0.3-5 µg/mL for TRI), giving convenient standard deviations and satisfactory recovery percentages. The recommended methods have been verified in accordance with (ICH) guidelines. When the results were statistically compared to the official methods, no significant difference was found. Both AGREE-Analytical GREEnness Metric Approach and Software, and White Analytical Chemistry (WAC) RGB model gave scores of 0.93 and 97.2%, respectively, which proved that the approaches were eco-friendly and abiding by the sustainability principles.
