Abstract:
In this study, the HPLC-ELSD method was adopted to detect the equilibrium solubility of B and A in water and different pH buffer solution, as well as their apparent oil-water partition coefficients in the noctanol-water/buffer solution. Furthermore, the mass fraction weight coefficient method was adopted to express the integrated equilibrium solubility and oil-water distribution coefficient of ginkgolide components. The direct addition method and the mass fraction weight coefficient method were compared in calculating the property value of ginkgolide components, showing that the mass fraction weight coefficient method was more scientific and reasonable. The tentative study provided ideas to property characterization of traditional Chinese medicine components, as well as basis for studies on preparations of traditional Chinese medicine components.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
