A new analytical method was developed for the estimation of apalutamide in bulk and its pharmaceutical formulation. The sensitive, précise and accurate method was developed by using Waters Acquity UPLC system equipped with quaternary gradient pump. The column used was Waters C18 150 X 2.1 mm X 1.7 µm and mobile phase was 0.2 % OPA buffer in water : acetonitrile in the ratio of 25:75 V/V. The buffer pH was maintained at 4.5. The fl ow rate of mobile phase was 0.5 mL min-1 and detection was at 272 nm by using PDA detector. The method was performed at ambient temperature. The retention time of the apalutamide was 1.27 min. The % RSD value in precision was >2 %. The accuracy of the method was found to be between 99.54 % - 100.01 %. The limit of detection and limit of quantifi cation values were found to be 0.14 µg mL-1 and 0.48 µg mL-1, respectively. The linearity concentration range was found to be 11.25 - 67.5 µg mL-1, it show wide linearity concentration range. The method was proved to have good robustness after changing parameters of fl ow rate, temperature and mobile phase composition. The method showed good ability towards different stress conditions of acidity, alkalinity, peroxide and UV-light. The method can be used for the routine analysis of apalutamide in bulk and its pharmaceutical dosage form by using UPLC.
