The stability of panax notoginseng saponins injection in 3 kinds of infusion

Objective:To study the stability of panax notoginseng saponins in 5% glucose solution,10% glucose solution,and 0.9% sodium chloride solution.Methods:The stability of panax notoginseng saponin solution was determined by UV spectrophotometric assay of its content,by observing changes in its appearance,pH value,and UV spectrum within 4h.Results:The panax notoginseng saponin content is 98% within 1h of admixture with 0.9% NaCl solution,98% within 3h of admixture with 10% glucose solution and 98% within 4h of admixture with 5% glucose solution.Conclusion:5% and 10% glucose solution and 0.9% NaCl solution are compatible with panax notoginseng saponin injection.[
