Objective: To develop a simple, sensitive, specific, accurate reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for the estimation of curcumin and piperine.Methods: The separation was done using a column Inertsil–ODS C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5µ particle size) and mobile phase composed of methanol: water (45:55 v/v), flow rate at 1 ml/min and detection was carried out at 282 nm with photodiode array (PDA) detector.Results: The separation of curcumin and piperine were found to be at the retention time of 2.433 min and 3.095 min, respectively. The method was found to be linear at a concentration range 20-80 µg/ml for curcumin and piperine. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) was found to be 0.05µg/ml and 0.17µg/ml for curcumin and 0.18µg/ml and 0.53µg/ml for piperine respectively. The average percentage recoveries of curcumin and piperine were in the range of 98-100.6%.Conclusion: A simple and sensitive reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the estimation of curcumin and piperine.
