Percutaneous absorption of Rg1 in Panax notoginseng in vitro / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM: To study the percutaneous absorption of Rg1 in Panax notoginseng and the effects of some commom enhancer and pH value on it. METHODS: Drug permeation tests were performed through excised rat skin in V-C diffusion cell.Rg1 concentration in samples was determined by HPLC. RESULTS: Rg1 could penetrate through excised rat skin with lower permeability coefficient;in the range of concentration 300 mg/mL～60 mg/mL permeability coefficient of Rg1 decreased as its concentration increasd;Among enhancers,10% ethanol,10%,20% and 30% propylene glycol,2% Azone,2% Eucalyptus Oil and 5% Oleic Acid had markedly promotive effect on transdermal penetration of Rg1. CONCLUSION: The research will provide experimental data for skin administration of Chinese medicine containing Panax notoginseng.
