Resumen
Flutamide is a potent antiandrogen used for the treatment of prostatic cancer. A simple, sensitive and accurate high-performance liquid Chromatographic (HPLC) method is presented for quantitative determination of flutamide in tablets, using a reversed-phase technique and UV detection at 240 nm. The isocratic elution was used to quantify the analyte. The samples were chromatographed on Luna-C18 column and the mobile phase was 0.05 M phosphate buffer pH 4.0 - acetonitrile (50:50, v/v). The method was linear between 2.9 - 11.6 mg L -1. Over the tested concentration range the intra-day relative standard deviation for replicate analysis in tablets ranged from 0.44 to 0.78%. It was also found that the excipients in the commercial tablets did not interfere with the method.
