'''Cinchophen''' (trade names '''Atophan''', '''Quinophan''', and '''Phenaquin''') is an [[analgesic]] [[approved drug|drug]] that was introduced in 1910 and frequently used to treat [[gout]]. This drug is still used somewhat by [[veterinarian]]s to treat gout.
Use of this drug in humans ceased in the 1930s due to the discovery that cinchophen can cause serious [[liver]] damage.<ref name="pmid1679861">{{cite journal |author=Cutrín Prieto C, Nieto Pol E, Batalla Eiras A, Casal Iglesias L, Pérez Becerra E, Lorenzo Zúñiga V |title=[Toxic hepatitis from cinchophen: report of 3 cases] |language=Spanish; Castilian |journal=Medicina clínica |volume=97 |issue=3 |pages=104–6 |year=1991 |pmid=1679861 |doi=}}</ref>
