Abstract: Background: High performance liquid chromatography is an integral analytical tool in assessing drug product stability. HPLC methods should be able to separate, detect, and quantify the various drug-related degradants that can form on storage or manufacturing, plus detect any drug-related impurities that may be introduced during synthesis.

Objective: A simple, economic, selective, precise, and stability-indicating HPLC method has been developed and validated for analysis of Rifampicin (RIFA) and Piperine (PIPE) in bulk drug and in the formulation.

Method: Reversed-phase chromatography was performed on a C18 column with Buffer (Potassium Dihydrogen Orthophosphate) pH 6.5 and Acetonitrile, 30:70), (%, v/v), as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL min-1.

Result: The detection was performed at 341 nm and sharp peaks were obtained for RIFA and PIPE at retention time of 3.3 ± 0.01 min and 5.9 ± 0.01 min, respectively. The detection limits were found to be 2.385 ng/ml and 0.107 ng/ml and quantification limits were found to be 7.228ng/ml and 0.325ng/ml for RIFA and PIPE, respectively. The method was validated for accuracy, precision, reproducibility, specificity, robustness, and detection and quantification limits, in accordance with ICH guidelines.

Conclusion: Stress study was performed on RIFA and PIPE and it was found that these degraded sufficiently in all applied chemical and physical conditions. Thus, the developed RP-HPLC method was found to be suitable for the determination of both the drugs in bulk as well as stability samples of capsule containing various excipients.
