Uric acid crystals are the causative agents for gouty arthritis. These crystals were studied by means of crystal growth by adopting single diffusion method. The remedial measures for the uric acid crystals were studied by the extracts of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis leaves and Colchicine. The results obtained in the present study indicate that the leaves of Nyctanthes arbor-tristis are more efficient than Colchicine with its potent hypouricemic effects.
