Abstract: The optimum method of extracting total flavone from Stellera chamaejasme was confirmed through comparing the contents of total flavone extracted by different extraction methods. In the experiment, the total flavone in S. chamaejasme was extracted by soxhlet extraction, ultrasonic extraction and polyamide resin column chromatography and the contents of total flavone in the extracts were determined by spectrophotometer. The results showed that the content of total flavone in the extracts extracted by soxhlet extraction from S. chamaejasme was 19,20 %, that by ultrasonic extraction was 23.39 % and that hy polyamide resin column chromatography was 24.18 %. The ultrasonic extraction was the optimum method for extracting total flavone from S. chamaejasme and the content of total flavone in the extracts extracted by polyamide resin column chromatography was highest.
