  1. aRegression equation for CZE-DAD: A = a + bc, where ‘A’ is the average corrected peak area and ‘c’ is the concentration (μg/mL). While for HPTLC-densitometry: A = a + bc, where ‘A’ is the average peak area and ‘c’ is the concentration (μg/band)
  2. bCoefficient 1 and 2 are the coefficients of x2 and x, respectively. Following a polynomial regression: A = b1x2 + b2x + a, where ‘A’ is the average peak area, ‘c’ is the concentration (μg/band), ‘b1’ and ‘b2’ are coefficients 1 and 2, respectively and ‘a’ is the intercept
  3. cIntra-day precision [average of three different concentration of three replicates each (n = 9) within the same day], for HPTLC the concentrations were (2.0, 4.0, 6.0 µg/band) for AML, (4.0, 6.0, 8.0 µg/band) for TIM, (8.0, 10.0, 14.0 µg/band) for HCT and (0.2, 0.5, 1.0 µg/band) for DSA and CT. For CZE: the concentrations were: (80.0, 100.0, 120.0 µg/mL) for AML, (80.0, 100.0, 120.0 µg/mL) for TIM, (140.0, 160.0, 180.0 µg/mL) for HCT and (40.0, 60.0, 100.0 µg/mL) for DSA and CT
  4. dInter-day precision [average of three different concentration of three replicates each (n = 9) repeated on three successive days], the concentrations were the same as in intra-day precision
  5. eLOD and LOQ are calculated according to ICH, 3.3 × SD of the residuals/slope and 10 × SD of the residuals/slope, respectively
  6. fFor HPTLC−densitometry: average of the change in wavelength (±1 nm) and saturation time (± 5 min). For CZE−DAD: average of the change in applied voltage (± 1 kV)
