- Abstract
Hyperuricemia is an elevated level of uric acid in the blood that induces uric acid needle shaped crystals saturation resulting in joint stiffness. Anting-anting leaf contains quercetin and kaempferol which are capable of decreasing uric acid in the body. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ethanol extract of anting-anting leaves (Acalypha indica L.) in decreasing uric acid levels in male rats Sprague Dawley induced by caffeine. This is an experimental research using 25 male rats, which were divided into 5 groups: negative, positive group, and three groups given the extract dose of 3.15 g/BW, 6.3 g/BW and 12.6 g/BW. Data were obtained from the examination of normal levels of uric acid, the level of uric after induction and the level after the treatment. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. The test results showed that ethanol extracts of anting-anting leaf dose of 12.6 g/BW could significantly decrease uric acid levels in male rats’ blood that was induced by caffeine dose of 5.29 mg/200gBW and was equivalent to the level of positive control (allopurinol 1.8 mg/200gBW). It is concluded that ethanol 96% extract of anting-anting leaf (Acalypha indica L.) has an effective effect in decreasing uric acid.
