Fenbufen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in the propionic acid derivatives class.[1]

It was introduced by American Cyanamid under the trade name Lederfen in the 1980s and was withdrawn from markets in the developed world due to liver toxicity in 2010.[2][3]:370, 383-384

As of 2015 it was available in Taiwan and Thailand under several brand names.[4]
