Mefenamic acid was first synthesized in the 1960s by the pharmaceutical company Parke-Davis, which is now part of Pfizer. It was developed as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for the treatment of pain and inflammation. The specific individual credited with its discovery is not widely documented, as drug development often involves teams of researchers rather than a single discoverer.
