Study on the stability of forsythiaside / 中成药

ABSTRACT

Objective: To study the stability of forsythiaside. Methods: The stability of forsythiaside was studied by using UV spectrum obsiving the changes of spectrums in different conditions. Results: Forsythiaside was very unstable under the condition of alkali (pH=9.40), relatively stable at the pH=6.86, 60?Cand stable at the pH= 4.03 . Conclusion: The stability of forsythiaside can be affected by the condition of the acid, alkali and temperatures obviously.
