    The species Passiflora edulis Sims, or "maracuyá," is a plant that grows in northern Peru, specifically in the Lima Department, Barranca Province, Supe district, in the Venado Muerto Ravine. This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity of the hydroalcoholic extract from the leaves of Passiflora edulis Sims. Methodology: A total of 56 Holtzmann strain rats of different sexes were used for the evaluation of inflammation. The rats were divided into 8 groups of seven animals. Inflammation was induced using the 0.1 mL albumin-induced plantar edema method, and the plantar volume was measured with a plethysmometer every hour for 6 hours. For the analgesic activity evaluation, the 0.8% acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing method was employed. A total of 49 Mus musculus strain mice of different sexes were divided into 7 groups of seven animals. The number of abdominal writhes was individually quantified over a 20-minute period. Results and Conclusion: The results demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity, as the 800 mg/kg hydroalcoholic extract inhibited the development of plantar edema with an effect of 100% within one hour of application, comparable to 4 mg of dexamethasone. The study also showed the analgesic activity of the 400 mg/kg hydroalcoholic extract, which achieved an effect of 70%.
