The invention provides a preparation method for extractive originating from an araliaceae plant, notoginseng. The extractive of the category mainly contains extractive of dammarane type, tetracyclic triterpene category, protopanaxadiol type and saponin category, wherein the content of ginsenoside Rb1 and Rd is not lower than 60 percent, and the content of ginsenoside Re, Rg1, and notoginseng saponin R1 is not higher than 5 percent. The notoginseng is extracted by using alcohol containing water as the solvent, chromatography to the extracting solution through a chromatographic column is performed to obtain elutriant, reversed phase and liquid phase gradient elution is performed, the elutriant is collected, and then the target extractive is obtained through concentration. The extraction process of the invention can effectively remove impurities of sugar, protein, amino acid, and the saponin of the protopanaxadiol type of the notoginseng, etc., and improve the content of effective components. The effective components are definite, the process is simple, the quality is controllable, and the invention is suitable for industrialized production, thereby being applied for preparing medicines treating malignant solid tumors.
