A NOVEL RP- HPLC METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF ATORVASTATIN AND FENOFIBRATE IN BULK AND PHARMACEUTICAL DOSAGE FORMS

The present investigation describes about a simple, economic, selective, accurate, precise reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous estimation of Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate in pure and pharmaceutical dosage forms. Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate were well separated using a Thermohypersil BDS C18column of dimension 100 × 4.6, 5µm and Mobile phase consisting of  Methanol: Water (Adjusted with orthophosphoric acid to pH-2) in the ratio of 40:60v/v at the flow rate 1 ml/min and the detection was carried out at 274nm with PDA detector. The Retention time for Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate were found to be 1.438, 2.949 respectively. The developed method was validated for recovery, specificity, precision, accuracy, linearity according to ICH guidelines. The method was successfully applied to Atorvastatin and Fenofibrate combination pharmaceutical dosage form..
