Abstract: The antibacterial and antioxidant activities of total flavonoids from Pueraria montana (Loureiro) Merrill were studied. The water extraction technology of Pueraria montana was optimized by the single factor test and response surface method. The total flavonoids were characterized by ultraviolet spectrophotometry and high performance liquid chromatography. The biological activities of total flavonoids were evaluated by agar diffusion method, with DPPH·, ABTS+· and total reduction capacity as indicators. The results showed that the optimized extraction process of total flavonoids from Pueraria montana was as follows: Solid-liquid ratio (mV,g∶mL) of 1∶16, extraction time of 69 min, extraction times of 3 times, and the total flavonoids yield was 7.690%. Nine common flavonoids were detected in the optimized total flavonoids of Pueraria montana, the total content of which accounted for 91.81%. The total flavonoids of Pueraria montana had different antibacterial activities against 11 strains tested, and it was found to be moderately sensitive to Enterococcus faecalis and Bacillus thuringiensis for the first time, with MIC of 250, 500 mg/mL, respectively. It had strong scavenging ability and total reduction ability, and the IC50 of DPPH· and ABTS+· free radicals were 0.398, 0.189 mg/mL, respectively.
