In the developed method, water and ethanol are used as solvents. The ¦Ëmax was determined to be 221nm. The procedure was validated as per ICH rules for Accuracy, Precision, Detection limit, Linearity, Reproducibility and Quantitation limit. The linearity concentration range was 40-60¦Ìg/mL with the correlation coefficient of 0.9971. The percentage recovery for anastrozole was found to be 98.6 to 100.8%. Limit of detection and limit of quantitation values were found to be 1¦Ìg/mL and 3¦Ìg/mL. The method has been successfully used to analyze commercial solid dosage containing 1mg of anastrozole with good recoveries and proved to be robust.
