| Summary: | The aim of the present study was to optimize the process parameters for the extraction and purification of total flavonoids from <i>Polygonum perfoliatum</i> L., in addition to analyzing their chemical composition and evaluating their activity against varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and antioxidant activity. The optimum extraction process was determined using one-way and response surface methods with the following conditions: ethanol concentration of 82.00%, temperature of 90.29 °C, solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:32.78 g/mL, extraction time of 1.5 h, and two extractions with a yield of 14.98 ± 0.11 mg/g. Purification was then carried out using D101 macroporous resin to obtain a flavonoid purity of 43.00 ± 2.55%, which was 3.38 times higher than that of the crude extract (12.74 ± 1.04%). Further purification was carried out using a 1:9 hybrid column of macroporous resin and polyamide, and the purity of flavonoids was enhanced to 59.02 ± 2.23%, which is 1.37 times higher than that of the macroporous resin purifier (43.00 ± 2.55%) and 4.63 times higher than that of the crude extract (12.74 ± 1.04%). Seventy-nine flavonoids were identified using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem high-resolution mass spectrometry (<i>UPLC-HRMS</i>). In addition, the purified flavonoids showed good anti-VZV and antioxidant activities. Therefore, this study can provide technical support and theoretical basis for the further development and utilization of <i>Polygonum perfoliatum</i> L. resources. |
