Abstract
Objective: The present work was focused on the development and validation of the reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method, which is simple, rapid, precise, accurate, sensitive, economical, and stability-indicating for the quantification of rosuvastatin calcium in bulk and tablet formulation.
 Methods: The separation was attained on reversed-phase Princeton (C18) column with dimensions (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5μ) employing buffer, which is a mixture of water (pH 3.0, adjusted with orthophosphoric acid) and methanol in the ratio (20:80) v/v as mobile phase, at flow rate 1.0 ml/min. and detection was carried out at wavelength 240 nm. The retention time under the optimized condition of rosuvastatin calcium was found to be 2.844 min.
 Results: The linearity of the method was demonstrated in the concentration range of 6-16 µg/ml for rosuvastatin calcium with a correlation coefficient (r2) of 0.9999. The percentage relative standard deviation was ˂2% and percentage recovery was found to be 100.12-101.37% for rosuvastatin calcium. The assay of marketed tablet formulations was found to be 98.99%.
 Conclusion: The developed RP-HPLC technique was found to be simple, specific, sensitive, rapid, linear, accurate, precise, and economical and will be used for regular quality control of rosuvastatin calcium in bulk and tablet formulations.
