Development and validation of stability-indicating HPLC and UPLC methods for the determination of bicalutamide.

Six new process related impurities (Imp-08, Imp-09, Imp-10, Imp-12, Imp-13 and Imp-14) of bicalutamide (BCT) have been reported in this paper. BCT was subjected to oxidative, acid, alkaline, hydrolytic, thermal and photolytic degradation conditions and found to degrade in alkaline condition, yielding Imp-11. Stability-indicating high-performance liquid chromatography and ultra-performance liquid chromatography methods were developed for the determination of BCT in the presence of its 14 process-related impurities and 1 degradant by using Zorbax SB phenyl column (150 × 4.6 mm × 3.5 µm) and HSS T3 column (100 × 2.1 mm × 1.8 µm), respectively. Both the methods were validated as per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines. Quantitation limits (QL) were found be in the ranges of 0.02-0.03% for both the methods. Precision was evaluated by replicate analysis in which % relative standard deviation (RSD) values for areas were found below 2.0. Linearity for the impurities was established in the range of QL to 200% of the specification level and the correlation coefficients derived from of the respective calibration curves were approximately 0.999. The recoveries obtained for purity (90-100%) and assay (98-102%) ensured the accuracy of the developed methods. © The Author [2012]. Published by Oxford University Press. All rights reserved.
