RP-HPLC method has been developed and validated for the determination of voricaonazole in bulk drug. The developed method is found to be specific, reproducible, and stability indicating. The Hypersil, C18 (250 X 4.6 mm) 5μ column was used and mobile phase consisting of water:acetonitrile to achieve good resolution and retention of the analyte and its impurities. The detector linearity was established from concentrations ranging from 5-100 μg/ml. The method was tested at different levels of specificity and accuracy as per requirements given in ICH guidelines. The molecule was exposed to the stress conditions such as acid, base, oxidation, heat and light as per the recommendations of ICH guidelines. The method was proved to be robust with respect to changes in flow rate, mobile phase composition and allied columns. The proposed method is found to be sensitive, precise, rapid, reproducible, and offers good column life.

A simple, accurate, precise, robust stability indicating RP-HPLC method was developed and validated for simultaneous estimation of berberine and curcumin in an ayurvedic formulation. The two markers were resolved using a C-18 column using as the mobile phase methanol: water (pH 3 adjusted using acetic acid) in the ratio 75:25 V/V at a flow rate of 1mL/min. Retention times of berberine and curcumin were 2.58 ± 0.2 min and 8.5 ± 0.2 min, respectively at 358 nm. Linear response was observed in the concentration range of 2 – 8 ppm for berberine and 5 – 40 ppm for curcumin, with correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.994 and 0.998 for berberine and curcumin, respectively. The developed method was applied for quantitation of markers in marketed and in-house formulations of Gruhadhoomadi Churna. This method can also be used to evaluate formulations containing berberine and curcumin as markers, thus conforming to the need of ensuring quality and safety of herbal medicines.
