Abstract

 This study aimed to determine the effect of the combination of sidaguri leaves and red ginger rhizome extracts in uric acid levels of hyperuricemic male mice. Thirty-six mice were divided into nine groups including normal group, the positive control (+), negative control (-), extracts of four treatment groups with a variety of combinations and two groups of single extract. Hyperuricemia induction was performed by administering mixture melinjo 10% of the standard feed mice for 7 days dan potassium oxonate 250 mg/kg BB intraperitoneally at 2 hours before blood sampling. The results showed that the combination dose of sidaguri leaves of 50 mg/kg BB and red ginger rhizome 400 mg/kg BB had higher antihyperuricemia activity than other combinations in lowering uric acid levels of mice. Compounds may have antihyperuricemic activity were flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids.
