A method of isolating terpene trilactones from Ginkgo biloba plant material or extract comprising the steps of suspending the plant material or extract in either water or an aqueous solution of an oxidation reagent; extracting the terpene trilactones using an acceptable extraction agent; separating the organic layer from the aqueous layer; washing the organic layer with an acceptable aqueous salt or hydroxide solution, which may be an alkaline solution; and drying the organic layer to form a dried extract containing terpene trilactones. Further purification by treatment with or filtration over activated charcoal, by treatment with or filtration over alumina and by recrystallization with an acceptable solvent or solvent mixture leads to extracts with a content of terpene trilactones higher than 50%. Unwanted levels of ginkgolic acids are reduced to acceptable levels by reversed phase chromatography.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'isolation de trilactones terpènes à partir de matériau de plante de Ginkgo biloba ou d'extrait de cette même plante. Ce procédé consiste à suspendre le matériau ou l'extrait de plante soit dans de l'eau ou dans une solution aqueuse d'un réactif d'oxydation, extraire les trilactones terpènes au moyen d'un agent d'extraction acceptable, séparer la couche organique de la couche aqueuse, laver cette couche aqueuse avec un sel aqueux acceptable ou une solution hydroxyde, qui pourra être une solution alcaline et enfin, sécher la couche organique en vue de former un extrait sec contenant des trilactones terpènes. Après purification par traitement ou filtrage au moyen de charbon de bois activé, par traitement ou filtrage par alumine et par recristallisation par un solvant acceptable ou un mélange de solvant, on obtient un extrait contenant des trilactones terpènes dans une quantité supérieure à 50 %. Les niveaux non-souhaités d'acides ginkgoliques sont alors réduits à des niveaux acceptables par chromatographie de phase inverse.
