A rapid method has been developed for rapid sample clean-up in the determination of the pharmacologically active terpenoid including ginkgolide A,B,C and bilobalide in ginkgo biloba leaves extracts (GBE).The extracts are dissolved in 7% of ethanol aqueous solution and then purified by a highly selective polyeric adsorbent solid-phase chromatographic column.After being concentrated,the separated terpenoids with no phenolic distrubance are determined by highperformance liquid chromatorgraphy on a Nova-Pak C18 column with methanol-water(30:70)as effluent and refractive index detection.The recovery of the method is about 95% and the new method saves more time than the conventional two-column purification method.
