The present application relates to a method for preparing (Z / E)-2- β -D-glucopyranosyloxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid geometric isomers from chamomile medicinal materials. The method takes chamomile medicinal materials as raw materials, extracts by refluxing with
ethanol, concentrates and dries to obtain extract
powder; then dissolves in
methanol, centrifuges and filters, separates the soluble part by
supercritical fluid chromatography to obtain target fraction rich in (Z / E)-2- β -D-glucopyranosyloxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid geometric isomers, purifies by semi-preparative liquid
chromatography to obtain (Z / E)-2- β -D-glucopyranosyloxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid geometric isomers. The method has clear separation
route and good
repeatability, can realize effective preparation and separation of GMCA geometric isomers, and can provide material basis for structure confirmation, quality evaluation, in-vivo
process research and related activity research. The method solves the problems of difficult separation and difficult obtaining of high-purity
single isomer sample of (Z / E)-2- β -D-glucopyranosyloxy-4-methoxycinnamic acid (GMCA) geometric isomers in the prior art.
