General Description

2-(biphenyl-4-yl)pentanoic acid is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C18H18O2. It is a derivative of pentanoic acid that contains a biphenyl group, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a carbon-carbon bond. 2-(biphenyl-4-yl)pentanoic acid is also known as fenbufen, and it is classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). Fenbufen exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties, making it a useful medication for treating conditions such as arthritis and other inflammatory disorders. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are involved in the inflammatory response. Additionally, fenbufen is also being investigated for potential use in cancer therapy due to its ability to induce apoptosis in cancer cells.
