Overview

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, a non-narcotic analgesic, an antipyretic, a cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitor and a cyclooxygenase 1 inhibitor. It is a member of benzophenones, an amino acid, an oxo monocarboxylic acid, a substituted aniline and a primary amino compound. It is a conjugate acid of an amfenac(1-).
