Decreased levels of uric acid is measured by using a measuring device Easy Touch uric acid levels in the blood of male mice hyperuricemia induced by administration of potassium bromate 0.5 mg / kg. The data obtained were analyzed by analysis of variance (ANAVA) followed by analysis of Least Significant Difference Test (LSDT) using the least squares difference with a 99% confidence level. Phytochemical screening result looks the same class of chemical compounds in fresh herbs, botanicals and herbal extracts ethanol bandotan, namely alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, triterpenoids / steroids; and essential oils. The result of the effect of decreasing uric acid levels showed there has been a reduction in the dose of 50 mg / kg, but is still too small, and according to the results of statistical test Analysis of Varian (ANOVA) and test Least Significant Difference Test (LSDT) dose of 100 mg / kg body weight have an effect reduction in uric acid levels were not significantly different with allopurinol dose of 10 mg / kg.
