Фенбуфен

Описание

Fenbufen has been found to be an effective, well-tolerated drug for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Fenbufen is prepared by the Friedel-Crafts (aluminum chloride – nitrobenzene) acylation of biphenyl with succinic anhydride. The compound is metabolized in humans first to 4-hydroxy-4-biphenylbutyric acid (tmax 2.5 h) then to 4-biphenyl acetic acid (tmax 7.5 h). Both metabolites are more active than fenbufen itself and circulate for several hours (t1/2 10 h). This slow conversion of fenbufen to active metabolites having relatively long plasma half-lives allows for once a day dosing with this agent.
