The invention discloses a method for extracting, separating and purifying diosgenin from chrysanthemum leaves. The total saponins include diosgenin, protodioscin methyl, saponin Pb and protodioscin Pb, and the specific extraction method is: the tuber of Dioscorea chrysanthemum leaf is washed, dried naturally, sliced, then freeze-dried, crushed into powder, and passed Sieve, then soak the diosminum chrysanthemum freeze-dried powder in ethanol for extraction, and carry out microwave treatment to obtain the extract of total saponins. The present invention extracts the total saponins in Dioscorea chrysanthemum with microwave-assisted extraction technology, and realizes the efficient extraction of total saponins in Dioscorea chrysanthemum by optimizing the microwave extraction conditions, and the yield of total saponins is 8.93 mg / g; at the same time, by adopting a specific stationary phase Column chromatography and gradient elution of the mobile phase separated and obtained 4 steroidal saponins, not only with high yield, but also with contents of 61.1mg / g, 4.5mg / g, 39.9mg / g and 0.84mg / g respectively , and the separation process is simple and fast, the separation effect is good, and the separated saponin has high purity.
