Investigation of Physicochemical Properties of Total Saponins from Pulsatillae Radix
Objective: To determine apparent solubility and oil-water partition coefficients of total saponins from Pulsatillae Radix
then investigate its stability in vitro gastrointestinal fluid. Method: Taking saponins(B3
BD
B7) from Pulsatillae Radix as index
apparent solubilities of three kinds of components were determined by saturation method and a shake flask method was established to determine oil-water partition coefficients
stability of total saponins in vitro gastrointestinal fluid was investigated.ELSD-HPLC was adopted to determine contents of index components with mobile phase of methanol(A)-water(B) for gradient elution(0-28 min
25%-10%B). Result: B7 had the best apparent solubility in these three kinds of components.Oil-water apparent partition coefficients of three kinds of component in different pH were very low.RSD of stability of index components in vitro gastrointestinal fluid was less than 5%. Conclusion: Dissolving ability of total saponins from Pulsatillae Radix in weak alkaline environment was the highest.Lipophilicity of total saponins was weak
so it was difficult to absorb into body through intestinal wall of lipid membrane and water layer.Total saponins from Pulsatillae Radix in vitro gastrointestinal fluid was stable.
