ABSTRACT
Objective To study the stability of potassium dehydroandrographolide succinate solution in different conditions.Methods The classical thermostatic test was adopted to investigate the stability of potassium dehydroandrographolide succinate in phosphate buffer solutions of different pH values,in different buffer solutions of the same pH value and in citrate buffer solutions of different concentrations.Results The stability of potassium dehydroandrographolide succinate solution was different at different pH values and was the best at pH 6.5.In various buffer solutions of pH 6.5,the hydrolyzation of potassium dehydroandrographolide succinate solution was delayed by citrate buffer solution,and the stability of the solution had no correlation with the concentration of citrate buffer solution.Conclusion The stability of potassium dehydroandrographolide succinate solution varies in different conditions.This will supply a reference for the study on potassium dehydroandrographolide succinate solution and its similar preparations.
