The invention discloses a preparation method of
ginkgo total
lactone and
bilobalide monomers contained in the
ginkgo total
lactone, which comprises the following steps: (1) dissolving a
ginkgo leaf extract, extracting with a mixed
solvent, taking a mixed
solvent layer, and concentrating under reduced pressure until the mixed
solvent layer is dry to obtain a ginkgo total
lactone crude product; (2) adding dilute
ethanol into the crude product of the ginkgo total lactone, heating, pulping, crystallizing, filtering and
drying to obtain the ginkgo total lactone; (3) adding a high-concentration
ethanol water solution into the ginkgo total lactone, heating, dissolving, crystallizing, filtering, concentrating
mother liquor to be dry, repeating the step, and concentrating secondary
mother liquor to be dry to obtain a
bilobalide monomer crude product; and (4) dissolving the crude
bilobalide product with dilute
ethanol, adsorbing through macroporous adsorption resin, eluting, concentrating to be dry, and recrystallizing once to obtain the bilobalide
monomer. The method has the advantages of few process steps, simplicity in operation, low cost and high product content and yield, and is suitable for industrial production.
