Description
ChEBI: An oxo monocarboxylic acid that is benzophenone in which one of the phenyl groups is substituted by an amino group and a carboxymethyl group at position 2 and 3, respectively. The corresponding carboxamide, nepafenac, is a prodrug of amfenac and is used fo the treatment of pain and inflammation following cataract surgery.
Amfenac is an oxo monocarboxylic acid that is benzophenone in which one of the phenyl groups is substituted by an amino group and a carboxymethyl group at position 2 and 3, respectively. The corresponding carboxamide, nepafenac, is a prodrug of amfenac and is used for the treatment of pain and inflammation following cataract surgery. It has a role as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, an antipyretic, a cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor, a cyclooxygenase 1 inhibitor and a non-narcotic analgesic. It is an amino acid, an oxo monocarboxylic acid, a member of benzophenones, a substituted aniline and a primary amino compound. It is a conjugate acid of an amfenac(1-).
