ABSTRACT
The aim of present investigation is to establish simple, precise, economical, rapid, and accurate
first order (D1) UV-Spectrophotometric method for simultaneous estimation of Fluconazole
(FCZ) and Quercetin (QCT) from developed mucoadhesive In-situ vaginal gel formulation.
The method was developed in Simulated Vaginal Fluid (SVF) at two different pH, normal
vaginal pH (4.31) and in Infected vaginal pH (7.00). In developed fist order UV-
spectrophotometric method, FCZ was quantify at detection wavelength, 232.03 nm, and 268.03
nm in SVF, pH 4.31 and pH 7.00, respectively. While QCT can easily quantified at same
detection wavelength, 400 nm in both SVF, pH 4.31 and pH 7.00. The method was also
validated as per ICHQ2(R1) guidelines. The scope of developed method includes
quantification of FCZ and QCT from its developed mucoadhesive In-situ vaginal gel
formulation and identification of drug released profile of both analytes in both normal vaginal
pH (4.31) and infected vaginal pH (7.00).
