Phytochemical screening and anti-hyperuricemic activity of Pogostemon cablin essential oils

Abstract

Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth, commonly known as patchouli, is a medicinal plant known for its diverse therapeutic properties. This study aims to investigate the phytochemical composition and anti-hyperuricemic activity of Pogostemon cablin essential oils. Through phytochemical screening, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, and in vivo evaluation using hyperuricemic rat models, we demonstrate the potential of Pogostemon cablin essential oils as a natural remedy for hyperuricemia.
