CAS 56983-13-2

Furofenac

Description:

Furofenac, with the CAS number 56983-13-2, is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is primarily used for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase enzymes, which play a crucial role in the synthesis of prostaglandins, thereby reducing pain and inflammation. Furofenac is typically administered in the form of its sodium salt and is known for its relatively rapid onset of action. The substance is often utilized in the treatment of conditions such as arthritis, musculoskeletal disorders, and postoperative pain. In terms of its chemical structure, Furofenac features a phenyl ring and a carboxylic acid group, contributing to its pharmacological activity. As with many NSAIDs, it may have side effects, including gastrointestinal discomfort and potential cardiovascular risks, necessitating careful consideration of its use in patients with pre-existing conditions. Overall, Furofenac is an important compound in the realm of pain management and inflammation control.
