Abstract: The aim of this study was to optimize prescription of gentiopicroside nanoemulsion and evaluate its quality and security.Single-factor test and pseudo-ternary phase diagram were adopted to optimize prescription,optimal prescription was gentiopicroside/ethyl acetate/EL-35/absolute ethyl alcohol/Ultrapure water (1.77∶7.66∶5.94∶11.91∶72.71),the particle size of nanoemulsion was 23.08 nm;The content of gentiopicroside was determined by HPLC;Stability of prepared gentiopicroside nanoemulsion was good in the state of different temperatures,illumination intensity and humidity conditions;The security test demonstrated that there was no acute toxicity;The optimized preparation technology of gentiopicroside nanoemulsion was simple,repeatable and stable.It provided the possibility to improve the bioavailability and clinical application.
