These methods were developed to be environmentally friendly, utilizing AGREE, GAPI, AGREEprep, ComplexGAPI, AMGS, ESA, HPLC-EAT, AMVI, and BAGI tools. Spectrophotometry, including the first derivative ratio spectrophotometric method (<sup>1</sup>DD), measures SOL and MIR at 224.8 nm and 258.6 nm, respectively. A method known as the extended ratio subtraction method (EXRSM) is used to resolve the overlap between the SOL and MIR. In this method, the binary mixture spectrum is divided by the divisor. A constant value is subtracted from the plateau region. MIR and SOL at λmax of 248.9 nm and 229.8 nm have a zero-order (D<sup>0</sup>) after being multiplied by a divisor. The MCR technique has successfully addressed the issue of spectral overlaps for SOL and MIR at 218.5 and 249.7 nm wavelengths. The second method, UPLC densitometry, separates pharmaceuticals using a UPLC C18 1.7 µm (2.1 × 50 mm) column with Ethanol: phosphate buffer pH 4.2 (35:65 v/v) mobile phase at a 0.6 ml/min flow rate, detecting drugs at 210 nm.

Potentiodynamic polarization assessments demonstrated a notable cathodic shift in the corrosion potential of SS 316L upon the introduction of SP extract, which signifies a reduction in anodic dissolution rates. A marked enhancement in linear polarization resistance was recorded, corresponding to a diminished corrosion current density, thereby evidencing substantial corrosion mitigation. Data obtained from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy corroborated these observations, revealing an augmentation in impedance and charge transfer resistance alongside a reduction in double-layer capacitance, indicative of suppressed charge transfer at the SS 316L/electrolyte interface. Open-circuit potential (OCP) metrics demonstrated that the system incorporating SP presented more negative values relative to the control, reinforcing the inhibitory effect exerted by the constituents of SP. UV–Visible and FTIR spectral analyses substantiated the existence of bioactive compounds within SP powder, with minor shifts in spectral bands noted on the SS 316L surface subsequent to immersion, suggesting adsorption of SP constituents. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging of SS 316L specimens exposed to SP-enhanced artificial saliva exhibited diminished surface degradation in comparison to the control samples. These findings imply that constituents of SP, characterized by polar functional groups (e.g., O, N, and S), engage with SS 316L ions, thereby facilitating the formation of a protective layer and augmenting corrosion resistance.
