Therefore, then phytochemical screening was carried out using the Cuilei method and antibacterial activity by agar diffusion method. The results showed that user-user contains several chemical compounds such as alkaloids, saponins, tannins, phenolic, flavonoids, steroids and glycosides. The antibacterial activity test showed that user-user methanol extract did not have antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli at concentrations of 500, 1000 and 1500 ppm.
