Comparison between different LC-UV reported methods and the proposed methods for simultaneous determination of CANA and MET.
| Methods | Column | Mobile phase | Run time (min) | Sensitivity |
| Reported method [7] | C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) At ambient temperature | Ammonium acetate : acetonitrile (pH 3.5) (65 : 35, v/v) | 8 min | CANA (5–30 μg·mL−1) MET (50–300 μg·mL−1) |
| Reported method [8] | C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) At Temperature at 30°C | Phosphate buffer : acetonitrile (pH 4.5) (65 : 35, v/v) | 4 min | CANA (5–30 μg·mL−1) MET (50–300 μg·mL−1) |
| Reported method [9] | ODS column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5µm) At Temperature at 30°C | Phosphate buffer : acetonitrile : methanol (pH 4.5) (40 : 40 : 20, v/v) | 7 min | CANA (5–30 μg·mL−1) MET (50–300 μg·mL−1) |
| Proposed method (A) | C18 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 3 μm) At ambient temperature | Methanol : phosphate buffer (pH 3.2) (75 : 25, v/v) | 1.1 min | CANA (1–50 μg·mL−1) MET (0.5–100 μg·mL−1) |
| Proposed method (B) | Hypersil gold (50 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.9 μm) At ambient temperature | Methanol : phosphate buffer (pH 3.5) (80 : 20 v/v) | 1 min | CANA (0.1–50 μg·mL−1) MET (0.25–100 μg·mL−1) |
