(+)-flunoxaprofen
Sign in to saveAlso known as (S)-(+)-Flunoxaprofen, (+)-2-(p-Fluorophenyl)-alpha-methyl-5-benzoxazoleacetic acid, (S)-2-(4-Fluorophenyl)-alpha-methyl-5-benzoxazoleacetic acid, flunoxaprofen
Flunoxaprofen, also known as Priaxim, is a chiral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is closely related to naproxen, which is also an NSAID. Flunoxaprofen has been shown to significantly improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The clinical use of flunoxaprofen has ceased due to concerns of potential hepatotoxicity.
