Clofurac is an anti-inflammatory compound synthesized by Sandoz in the 1980s. In animal models, clofurac inhibited the acute inflammation induced by carrageenin, was more effective in adjuvant-induced arthritis than diclofenac, and inhibited PGE2 and PGF2a synthesis in vitro. The compound was found to be strongly ulcerogenic in the rat.
