Fenbufen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to treat pain. [1]

Fenbufen is a member of the propionic acid derivatives class of drugs. [2]

It was introduced by American Cyanamid under the trade name Lederfen in the 1980s. Due to liver toxicity, it was withdrawn from markets in the developed world in 2010. [3] [4] : 370, 383–384 

As of 2015 it was available in Taiwan and Thailand under several brand names. [5]

Preparation

Fenbufen can be synthesized by acylation of biphenyl with succinic anhydride under Friedel-Crafts conditions. [6]
