C. Divya*, A. Ajitha, T. Rama Mohana Reddy, V. Umamaheswara Rao

Atazanavir Sulfate is a sulfate salt form of atazanavir, an aza-dipeptide analogue with a bis-aryl substituent on the (hydroxethyl)hydrazine moiety with activity against both wild type and mutant forms of HIV protease. Atazanavir does not elevate serum lipids, a common problem with other protease inhibitors. In this review, we discussed various analytical methods like UV, HPLC, LC-MS for the estimation of Atazanavir Sulfate in pharmaceutical dosage forms.
