Berberine Hcl powder, also known as berberine hydrochloride, is derived from Rhizoma Coptidis, a traditional Chinese medicine. It is renowned for its ability to strengthen the stomach and alleviate diarrhea. This extract is also effective in treating bacterial gastroenteritis and bacillary dysentery, making it a common remedy for abdominal pain and diarrhea.
Chemically, berberine forms yellow needle-like crystals when precipitated from ether, with a melting point of 145 ℃. It is soluble in water but insoluble in benzene, ether, and chloroform. As a quaternary ammonium alkaloid, its salts exhibit limited water solubility—hydrochloride at 1:500 and sulfate at 1:30. Berberine crystals obtained from water or dilute ethanol contain 5.5 molecules of water; crystallization from chloroform, acetone, or benzene includes solvent molecules. Treating berberine with different bases yields three forms—quaternary ammonium, aldehyde, and alcohol—with the quaternary ammonium being the most stable.
