STABILITY INDICATING HPLC METHOD FOR THE ESTIMATION OF CINACALCET HYDROCHLORIDE API

In this paper, a stability-indicating liquid chromatography method has been developed and validated for the determination of Cinacalcet hydrochloride in a laboratory mixture as well as in a tablet formulation developed in-house. Efficient chromatographic separation was achieved on phenomenex C18 column with mobile phase containing Methanol: Water pH adjusted to 3.6 with dilute Orthophosphoric acid at a flow rate of 1.3 mL/min and the eluent was monitored at 271 nm using Shimadzu LC-10AT-VP and LC-20 AD with Spinotech software. Linearity range was found to be between 50-300 mu g/ml and the linear regression coefficient was not more than 0.999. The percentage recovery varies from 97%-103% w/w. LOD and LOQ were found to be within limit. The system suitability parameters like tailing factor, number of theoretical plates, Asymmetry were found to be within limit. The proposed method is simple, accurate and rapid and hence can be employed for routine quality control analysis.
