Abstract
A rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated in human plasma for simultaneous determination of rosuvastatin and candesartan, using atorvastatin as internal standard. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Waters C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm). A response surface methodology based 3 2 full factorial design was employed to optimize critical chromatographic conditions viz. pH and composition of mobile phase for achieving good resolution between the desired analytes.
