The leaves of the P. canescens are ethnobotanically used by the community as a remedy for bruises and fever. This study aims to isolate both of ethanol and n-hexane fractions of P. canescens Jack leaves. Isolate then characterized and determined their anti-inflammatory activity with male white mice. Anti- Inflammatory was determined by the volume of exudate and \% inflammation inhibition. The isolates with good anti-inflammatory activity were characterized using UV-Vis and IR spectrophotometry. Our findings showed that the ethanolic (F1) and n-hexane (F2) fractions of P. canescens extract had a good anti-inflammatory activity with percent inhibition values of 58.12\% and 56.59\%, respectively. The characterization results showed that isolate F1 was a flavonoid group, Apigenin compound, while isolate F2 was a steroid group, Squalene compound.
