Chemistry:Oxyphenbutazone
From HandWiki
Oxyphenbutazone is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).[1] It is a metabolite of phenylbutazone.[2]
It was withdrawn from markets worldwide in the mid-1980s due to bone marrow suppression and the risk of Stevens–Johnson syndrome.[3][4]
In Scrabble, the word "oxyphenbutazone" is the highest-scoring word possible resulting in 1,780 points based on the NASPA word list of 2006.[5] However, according to Mental Floss, there is no documentation that the word "oxyphenbutazone" has ever been successfully played on a Scrabble board, and it "probably never will be".[6]
