Berberine (Brb) and piperine (Pip) are salient examples of bioactive nutraceuticals possessing a promising role in controlling epilepsy. However, during the development of novel nanoformulation that augments their effects, an adequate determination of each one separately was a challenge since they have nearly the same detection wavelength and diverse solubility profiles. Consequently, a tailored high-performance liquid chromatography technique was developed for their simultaneous detection in routine analyses. The chromatographic separation was achieved using a C18 column. The linear gradient flow of acetonitrile: 0.1%v/v aqueous phosphoric acid was altered from 55:45 to 80:20 v/v over 3 min at a 1.2 mL/min flow rate until the end of the run. Brb and Pip were eluted at 1.6 and 3.4 min, respectively. The linearity of the standard curves was found to be ≥0.999, and the mean % recovery for Brb and Pip lay within the accepted limit. Moreover, the percentage coefficient of variation was <2% for intra- and inter-day precision. Consequently, the developed assay was successfully applied for the quantification of both drugs rapidly with high resolution and minimum interference from each other during the different steps conducted during the nanoformulation development.
