Can saline act to change the nature of a chemical or weaken it, if used in place of purified water?

This molecule: Is has an acetate base. Mixed with purified water presumably means it just forms a solution as intended. Mixed with saline (0.9% sodium chloride), could the sodium-chloride react with the acetate to precipitate sodium-acetate, and that could impact or effect the nature/potency of the molecule? Any chemists…

Any chemists among us?
