<![CDATA[Acute inflammatory conditions such as uveitis in pets can lead to discomfort and unnecessary pain. The treatment for uveitis involves the administration of anti-inflammatory drugs, including NSAIDs or herbal remedies generally containing flavonoids. Physalis angulata Linn., known as Ciplukan, encompasses compounds exhibiting anticoagulant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer activities. Ciplukan is composed of withanolids, terpenoids, carotenoids, and flavonoids. This study was conducted to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of the ciplukan ethyl acetate fraction (CEAF) on Wistar rats as egg white-induced inflammation models and the most effective dose. The test was carried out on 6 test groups, each consisting of 5 rats. The test groups consisted of a normal control group, a 4,5 mg/kgBW diclofenac induced group, a negative control (NC) group which were induced inflammation using egg whites, and CEAF administration at respective doses of 5, 10, and 15 mg/kgBW groups. The parameters used in this research were plant determination, phytochemical tests, measurement of edema volume, and analysis of anti-inflammatory activity. The volume of edema on the rats’ paws was measured using a plethysmometer periodically, with a total period of 6 hours. All the data in the study were analysed statistically using the One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method and the Tukey test with 95% CI. The results indicated that the CEAF with dose of 15 mg/kgBW exhibited a percentage of edema inhibition (47,8%) closest to that of the diclofenac sodium group (61,6%). The study findings suggest that the CEAF possesses anti-inflammatory activity with the most effective dose of 15 mg/kgBW.]]>
