ABSTRACT
Vorasidenib, a novel dual inhibitor of mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 (IDH1/2), has gained
considerable attention for its therapeutic potential in the treatment of low-grade gliomas and other IDH-mutant
malignancies. Accurate and reliable analytical methods are essential for the quantitative estimation of
Vorasidenib in bulk drug and pharmaceutical dosage forms to ensure quality, safety, and efficacy. Among the
available analytical techniques, Reverse Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) has
emerged as the method of choice due to its sensitivity, selectivity, reproducibility, and cost-effectiveness. This
review highlights the development and validation strategies of RP-HPLC methods for Vorasidenib, focusing
on critical parameters such as selection of stationary and mobile phases, optimization of chromatographic
conditions, and detection wavelength. Method validation is discussed in accordance with ICH guidelines,
covering accuracy, precision, linearity, specificity, robustness, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of
quantitation (LOQ). Furthermore, the review emphasizes the application of validated methods in routine
quality control and stability studies of pharmaceutical formulations. Overall, the article provides
comprehensive insights into RP-HPLC method development for Vorasidenib, serving as a valuable reference
for researchers and pharmaceutical analysts engaged in drug analysis and regulatory submissions.

INTRODUCTION
Human life starting from birth to death mostly depends on medicines like vaccines, pharmaceutical dosages,
drugs, vitamin tablets, mineral supplements, energy drinks, boosters etc. The word medicine is drawn from
Latin “ars medicina” which means “the art of healing”1 . Because of advent development of the medical and
pharmaceutical sciences were now leading a long span of healthy life. Medicines enhanced the life expectancy
of humans and are considered to be the most important necessity of mankind which plays a vital role in curing
the diseases and health issues. People who are suffering with hypertension, diabetes etc. are completely
depending on the medicines throughout their tenure of life. Thus, the medicine is basically concerned with the
health and welfare of the human2 .
During our ancestor’s period pollution was low, food habits are hygiene, lot of physical work was involved, no
significant mental stress or work pressures etc., and hence their health was not affected much with various
kinds of diseases. But today, rapid increase of population, change of food habits, lack of physical work,
extensive work pressure, mental stress, various kinds of pollutions etc., are causing the diseases and health
problems. As the increase of diseases, the usage of medicines is also enormously increased. For the effective
treatment of various diseases and health issues, proper medicines or pharmaceutical dosages in the right
combinations are required. Medicines are there since from the ancient times and most of them are prepared by
using herbals, natural ingredients and by the other home remedy methods. Preparation of the medicines is
mainly concerned with the efficiency of the drug and the existing technology. The medicines should maintain
certain requirements - like purity, effective reaction time, lack of side effects etc.

Pharmaceutical companies look at qualitative and quantitative analysis to verify the quality of final product
and to check that their raw materials meeting their indeed specifications3 . Qualitative analysis concerns with
the identification of elements, functional groups or compounds in a sample, whereas the quantitative analysis
helps in the determination of amount of a particular element, species or compound in the given sample4 ,
which enable us to maintain permissible limits of impurities in the sample.
Importance of Analytical Chemistry
The modern day medicinal research focusing towards decreasing the side effects of the drugs and keeping our
lives even more secure6 . Many analytical techniques and instrumental methods were invented and developed
to ascertain the standards of the drugs so as to serve the purpose of the pharmaceutical drugs safely7 . These
techniques and methods play an important role in maintaining and assuring the quality of drugs and critical
components of quality assurance (Q.A) or quality control (Q.C)8
Pharmaceutical analysis is an important branch of analytical chemistry which involves series of process for the
identification, determination, quantitation and purification of drugs. It is mainly used for the separation of the
components in a mixture and also for the determination of the structure of chemical compounds9 . Analytical
method development for a newly manufactured product is so crucial because the chemical formulation does
not available in any pharmacopoeias. The newly introduced analytical techniques were suggestive in order to
determine the chemical quality standards of the medicine10 .
Analytical Techniques
For the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various drug products the following analytical techniques are
readily available.
Titrimetric Techniques
Titrimetric analysis implies in the determination of concentration of a standard solution to react quantitatively
with a measured volume of a solution of the substance to be determined11. It is also used for the determination
of degradation products of the pharmaceuticals.
Spectroscopic Techniques
Spectroscopy is the study of absorption, emission, or scattering of electromagnetic radiation with matter12 .
Electrochemical Techniques
These techniques are concerned with the interaction between electricity and chemistry for the measurements of
electrical quantities such as electric current, voltage or potential, charge and their relationship with the
chemical parameters12 .
Kinetic method of Analysis
Chemical kinetics provides a major tool for the study of chemical mechanisms, and the detailed account of
how reactions take place. The basic concept of the reaction kinetics is “law of mass action” and it states that
the rate of a chemical reaction is proportional to the active masses of the reacting substances each raised to the
power of its coefficient in the stoichiometric equation13
Electrophoresis Techniques
The principle of electrophoresis is very simple, namely that a charged ion or group migrates towards one of the
electrodes when placed in an electric field and this technique operates on a principle which is different from
the principle of chromatography and is alternative technique for separating the closely related charged
substances, and after electrophoresis the substances are located as a number of separate discrete zones14 .

Flow injection analysis and Sequential injection analysis In flow injection analysis (FIA) definite volume of
the liquid sample is injected into a moving, non-segmented continuous carrier stream of a suitable liquid15.
The injected sample forms a zone, which is then moves towards a detector that continuously records the
changes in absorbance, electrode potential, or other physical parameter resulting from the passage of the
sample through the flow cell15 . The flow injection technique is used as an automated solution handling
system for went chemical analysis16 , sensors and electrodes17 , chromatography18, atomic absorption
spectrometry19 etc. Sequential injection analysis (SIA) is the development of flow injection analysis and it
provides a robust methodology than the traditional flow injection16 .
Hyphenated technique
Hyphenation involves the union of two or more instrumental methods in a single run with the help of proper
interface20 . A significant preglen have been noticed in past two decades which has broadened their
applications in the analysis of biomaterials, especially natural products21 . Hyphenated analytical methods
provide more compatible information in less time leading to faster and accurate results. Here the combinations
include separationseparation, separation-identification and identification-identification techniques22 .
Chromatography
Chromatography is unique in the history of analytical methodology and is probably the most powerful,
versatile and widespread technique available in the modern chemical analysis. It plays a vital role in the
advancement of chemistry, biology, medicine and the other similar fields of science. It can be used together
with detection systems such as electrochemical, photometric and mass spectrometry due to its simplicity and
ease of operation. Chromatography is extensively used for the separation and identification of complex
chemical mixtures23 . Advanced methods of spectroscopy and chromatography are accelerating the method
developments in the discovery of new drugs. The pharmaceutical industry still at demand for advanced
products to improve quality of life24 .
Chromatography was discovered in 1903 by a Russian botanist Tswett during the separation and isolation of
various plant pigments25 . Tswett called his newly discovered phenomena as “Chromatography” which is
derived from Greek which means “color writing”26 . This chromatographic method was not recognized earlier
until L.S.Palmer and C.Dhere independently published about the similar separation process 27 .
Chromatography can be achieved by distributing the chemical components of a mixture through a moving
mobile phase and a stationary phase in which the mobile phase (liquid or a gas) flows through the stationary
phase (solid, or a liquid supported on a solid) and carries the components with it. The components which have
stronger interactions with the stationary phase move slowly than the components having weaker interactions
through the column. This difference in flowrates causes the separation of components in the mixture.
HPLC Method Development:
A method is a set of experimental conditions designed to create a good analysis of the given sample. HPLC
method development and validation plays a prominent role in the discovery, development and manufacture of
pharmaceuticals and agro chemical products. Understanding the physical and chemical characteristics of the
drug helps us to select the most appropriate method development. By the method development, information
such as molecular mass, structure and functionality, pKa values, UV spectra, solubility of the compound
should be compiled. The requirement of removal of insoluble impurities by filtration, centrifugation, dilution
or concentration, extraction (liquid or solid phase), derivatization for detection etc. should be checked28 . For
pure compound, the sample solubility (soluble in water or organic solvent) should be identified, as it helps to
select the best mobile phase and column in the method development28 .
In developing the HPLC method for the quantitative analysis, the following steps are to be followed;

METHOD VALIDATION
“Performing a thorough and suitable method validation may be tedious, but the consequences of not doing it
are considerably effective, which results waste of time, money and the other resources.”
The suitability of a method for its intended purpose can be demonstrated by analytical method validation.
Validation is a process by which a method is tested for reliability, stability, accuracy and preciseness. The
testing process includes acceptance of raw materials, release of the drug substances/ products, testing for
quality assurance, and establishment of the expiry duration. All methods should be validated and designed for
ruggedness or robustness. Every Method should be reproducible when it is used by other analysts/ on other
equivalent equipment/ on other days or locations. If the method used to generate the data for acceptance,
release, stability, or pharmacokinetics is reliable then only the generated data is trustworthy29
Requirements prior to Method Validation
Instruments / Equipment are to be validated and calibrated
Reference Standards and Reagents are to be standardized
