Abstract
Effects of total ginseng saponin, 20-S-protopanaxadiol saponin, 20-S-protopanaxatriol saponin and platycodon saponin on the osmotic behavior of lipsomes were investigated by optical measurement. These saponins showed different activites on liposomal membrane, and cholesterol in liposomes was an important factor to this variation of saponin activities.
