Possible anti-TB activity
"Researchers at the Weill Cornell Medical College designed a screen to find drugs that target dormant TB bacteria—triggered by certain lung conditions, dormancy is a key strategy Mycobacterium tuberculosis uses to evade drugs and cause lethal infections in nearly 1.5 billion people per year. The researchers found that the anti-inflammatory drug oxyphenbutazone, developed to treat arthritis in the 1970s, is activated in lung conditions that induce dormancy, and can kill dormant, active, and even resistant bacteria."

Is the fact it's the highest Scrabble play worth mentioning?
It seems like this doesn't need to be mentioned here; it has nothing to do with the anti-anxiety drug's chemical composition. Phil of rel (talk) 10:20, 5 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I put it in a trivia category, it felt definitely clashing next to something related to the chemical itself. I didn’t want to remove it, since both I don’t feel I can decide myself what should be removed and because it’s how a lot of people, including me, discovered this chemical. It’s not also like this article is crowded and needs only essential information because there isn’t place for some trivia. PhilbonQC (talk) 07:51, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
