Oxyphenbutazone is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [1] It is a metabolite of phenylbutazone. [2]

It was withdrawn from markets worldwide in mid-1980s due to bone marrow suppression and the risk of Stevens–Johnson syndrome. [3] [4]

In Scrabble , the word "oxyphenbutazone" is the highest-scoring word possible resulting in 1,780 points based on the NASPA word list of 2006. [5] However, according to Mental Floss , there is no documentation that the word "oxyphenbutazone" has ever been successfully played on a Scrabble board, and it "probably never will be". [6]
