A Simple, selective, accurate, precise, linear, and stability-indicating RP-HPLC method was developed and validated for the estimation of Cinacalcet hydrochloride in bulk and tablet dosage forms. Chromatographic separation was achieved on X-Terra Symmetry C18 (4.6 x 150mm; 5 m) with mobile phase containing Phosphate buffer: Acetonitrile (40:60 v/v) pH adjusted to 3.0 ±0.05 with diluted ortho-phosphoric acid. The flow rate was maintained at 0.9 mL/min. The eluent was monitored at 282 nm. Moreover, the retention time of Cinacalcet was 2.8 minutes. The method was validated for linearity, accuracy, precision, and robustness as per ICH guidelines. The developed method was found linear between 25-150 μg/ml, and the linear regression coefficient was 0.999. The % RSD values are less than 2 % indicating the accuracy and precision of the method. The percentage of recovery was obtained from 98-102%. The system suitability parameters were found to be within the limit. Forced degradation studies were conducted under various conditions. The proposed method is simple, rapid, precise, and accurate. It can be used for the quantitation of Cinacalcet hydrochloride in bulk and commercial pharmaceutical dosage forms.
