A simple, selective, precise and accurate reversed phase-HPLC assay for analysis of gemfibrozil in tablets was developed and validated. Separation and quantification were achieved on a Phenomenex C-18 column under isocratic conditions using a mobile phase (methanol:water, 80:20, v/v) maintained at 1.1 mL min(-1). UV-detection was at 280 nm. Atorvastatin was selected as an internal standard. The standard curves were linear over the range of 0.5-3.0 mu g mL(-1) (r > 0.999). The limits of detection and quantification were 0.20 and 0.51 mu g mL(-1), respectively. The recoveries for gemfibrozil were above 99.01%. The intra-day and inter-day precision (RSD) for gemfibrozil were below 1.74 and 1.83%, respectively. No chromatographic interferences from the tablet excipients were found. The results of the developed procedure in tablets were compared with those of the reference method to assess gemfibrozil content. Statistical comparison of the results with the reference method using spectrofluorimetric method showed excellent agreement and proved no significant difference in accuracy and precision. This HPLC method is fast and simple for the analysis of gemfibrozil in pharmaceutical preparations.
