        abstract = {Herbal formulations have grown in importance because of their therapeutic efficacy and fewer side effects than synthetic drugs. The current study's objective was to use Annona squamosa Linn leaf extract to make and evaluate a topical anti-inflammatory herbal gel. The leaves were collected, dried in the shade, powdered into a powder, and then extracted by cold maceration using a hydroalcoholic solvent system. Pre-formulation research, including organoleptic evaluation, pH measurement, solubility tests, UV–visible spectrophotometric analysis, calibration curve development, and FTIR spectroscopy, were used to evaluate the extract's physicochemical properties and compatibility
