Fenbufen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits COX-1 and COX-2; it exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidative activities. Fenbufen is clinically used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, tendinitis, and ankylosing spondylitis. In vitro, fenbufen scavenges O2 radicals and ROS.
