The invention discloses a method for extracting and preparing tanshinone compounds from dregs of radix salviae miltiorrhizae by virtue of a saccharification
pretreatment method. The method comprises the steps of firstly carrying out saccharification treatment on waste dregs of radix salviae miltiorrhizae to damage
cell wall
cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignocelluloses, extracting treatment liquid by virtue of an
organic solvent, concentrating extraction liquid to a certain volume, carrying out
ethanol elution on a
macroporous resin column, collecting optimized eluate parts, concentrating, and carrying out
spray drying, so as to prepare chemical components of tanshinone. According to the method, the extraction rate can reach 80%-100%, and the purity can reach 70%-95%; the content of
tanshinone IIA can reach 36%, the content of
tanshinone I can reach 32%, the content of cryptotanshinone can reach 8%, the content of
dihydrotanshinone can reach 9%, and the content of active ingredients is high. Experiment results prove that the tanshinone compounds have well efficacies of promoting
blood circulation and removing stasis and can be used for preparing medicines or
functional health products capable of preventing and treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
