Linear calibration graphs wereexamined for either drug in the concentration range of 6.25 – 25mg/L with R2 > 0.990. First derivative-transformed (i.e., usingSavitzky-Golay filter) and wavelet-transformed (i.e., using familiessuch as sym6, haar, db5, bior2.4, rbio2.4, meyr with scaling factor =256) UV spectrophotometric methods were statistically comparable tothe RP-HPLC reference method (p > 0.05) with regard to accuracyand precision when assaying spiramycin and metronidazole in theircoated tablets. These analytical methods used only green solvent, andproved to be time-saving and cost-effective.
