Ritonavir and darunavir were examined using a ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) approach in pharmaceutical dosage forms. The small number of analytical studies that are currently available do not demonstrate the method's stability or nature. The study sought to assess both chemicals using a stability-indicating approach with a relatively short run time. The HSS C 18 (100 × 2.1 mm), 2-mm column was used for the chromatographic separation, and isocratic elution was used to achieve this. In the mobile phase, methanol and 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 4.0) were included in a 60:40 (v/v) ratio. Throughout the analysis, the flow rate was kept at 0.2 mL min -1 , and a photodiode array detector set to 266 nm was used to find the major components. The proposed method showed a linear response (r 2  > 0.999), and the accuracy was between 98.0% and 102.0%. The precision data showed relative standard deviation ≤1.0%. The UPLC method for quantification of ritonavir and darunavir in pharmaceutical dosage forms using a very short run time of under a minute is the subject of the proposed article. To meet current regulatory criteria, the quality by design idea was used in the method performance verification.
