The invention discloses a method for extracting and separating
ginkgolides B from folium
ginkgo, which comprises the following steps: 1) taking the folium
ginkgo, carrying out extraction by
ethanol with different concentrations from high to low, combining extracting solutions, and reclaiming the
ethanol to obtain concentrated extracting solution; 2) adding
ethyl acetate into the concentrated extracting solution for extraction, reclaiming organic phase and concentrating the extracting solution into extract; 3) diluting the extract obtained in step 2), putting the extract to preferential polar imperforate adsorption resin, washing the preferential polar imperforate adsorption resin by
ethanol, reclaiming the ethanol in eluate, and crystallizing by the ethanol to obtain
ginkgolides compounds; 4) putting the
ginkgolides compound
crystal to
silica gel column, washing the
silica gel column by miscible liquids of normal
hexane and
ethyl acetate, and collecting eluate to obtain eluate of ginkgolides B; and 5) reclaiming
solvent in eluate collected in step 4), and crystallizing the
solvent by ethanol to obtain ginkgolides B
monomer. The method has the advantages of simple process, low production cost, high purity of products, and easy industrial production.
