In this study, high performance liquid chromatography was used to analysis the flavonoids of Phyllostachys makinoi Hayata. Eluting with mobile phase A (acetonitrile / methanol = 2:1) and mobile phase B (H2O) at a flow rate of 0.8 mL / min for 50 minutes and 254 nm, the following four components could be analyzed: vitexin and isovitexin. Furthermore, the DPPH radical scavenging activity was examination to determine the antioxidant activity of P. makinoi Hayata. The result showed the P. makinoi Hayata had antioxidant activity and IC50 of DPPH scavenging capacity was 0.540 ± 0.027 mg /mL.
