Fenamic acidis anorganic compound,which, especially in its ester form, is calledfenamate.[1]: 458 serves as a parent structure for severalnonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs), includingmefenamic acid,tolfenamic acid,flufenamic acid,andmeclofenamic acid.These drugs are commonly referred to as "anthranilic acid derivatives" or "fenamates" because fenamic acid is a derivative ofanthranilic acid.[2]: 235 [3]: 17 [2]

Fenamic acid can be synthesized from2-chlorobenzoic acidand can be converted intoacridone.[4]
