Phytochemical screening showed that crude drugs starfruit leaves contain fl avonoids, saponins, tannins and steroids/triterpenoids. Tannin has diuretic eff ect. Tannin and fl avonoid also contain antioxidants that can decrease blood pressure. Objective: To determine of the eff ect of starfruit leaf extract to decrease blood pressure of hypertension white rats (Rattus norvegicus). Methods: This study was a pure experimental research design with pretest-posttest control group. The Number of samples was 21 white rats, which had previously been induced with 2.5% NaCl and prednisone dose of 1.5 mg/kg BW for 15 days. The samples were divided into 3 groups; group 1 was given captopril treatment dose of 2.5 mg/kg BW, group 2 was given a dose of starfruit leaf extract 52.517 mg/100 gram BW; and group 3 was given doses of leaf starfruit extract 105.034 mg/100 gram BW of the rats.

The Starfruit leaf extract dose 52. 517 mg/100 gram BW was eff ective to decrease white rats blood pressure (P <0.05) and starfruit leaf extract dose 105. 034 mg/100 gram BW was eff ective to decrease white rats blood pressure (p< 0.05).
