The invention provides a preparation method of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid dry powder. The method comprises the following steps: (1) respectively dissolving polyinosinic acid and polycytidysic acid in a phosphate buffer solution, mixing the solution, adding a stabilizer, uniformly mixing the stabilizer and the solution, and performing heat preservation on the mixture at the temperature of 40-100DEG C; (2) naturally cooling the reaction liquid obtained in the step (1), mixing the reaction liquid with an organic solvent, standing for precipitating, and drying the precipitate, thereby obtaining the polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid dry powder. The preparation method has the beneficial effects that the prepared polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid dry powder has a complete double-helix structural features and physiological activity, the quality and the stability are better than those of the polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid at a solution state, a stronger enzymolysis-resisting performance can be achieved compared with the bare polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid after entering a living body, so that the curative effect can be enhanced. The polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid is purified in the process for making the polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid solution into the dry powder, a plurality of small-molecular-weight substances and impurities can be removed, the toxic and side effects can be reduced, and the quality of the polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid can be improved.
