GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Barbituric acid, chemically 2,4,6-trioxohexahydropyrimidine, a cyclic amide used as the parent compound to produce barbiturates that act as central nervous system depressants. Barbituric acid itself does not give sedative and hypnotic effects but the substituted derivatives with alkyl or aryl group at position 5 provide effects. Thiobarbituric acid, replaced oxygen atom of the urea component by sulfur, the parent compound of the thiobarbiturates which resembles the barbiturates in its effects. Barbiturates are drugs that acts as sedative-hypnotic agents. The short-acting barbiturates such as thiopental are used as intravenous anesthetics. The long-acting barbiturate such as phenobarbital is an anticonvulsant used in the treatment of epilepsy. They are used for the suppression of anxiety, the induction of sleep, and the control of seizures. Commercially available barbiturates are;
  • Amobarbital
  • Aprobarbital
  • Butabarbital
  • Butalbital
  • Hexobarbital
  • Mephobarbital
  • Pentobarbital
  • Phenobarbital
  • Secobarbital
  • Talbutal
  • Thiobarbital
  • Thiopental

Pentobarbital  a short- to intermediate-acting barbiturate used as a sedative particularly as a presurgical adjunct to anesthesia and as a hypnotic (but not as an anti-anxiety) It is prescribed more frequently for sleep induction than for sedation but, like similar agents, may lose its effectiveness by the second week of continued administration. It enhances GABAergic activity It is used as an anticonvulsant for emergency treatment of acute convulsive episodes. It is usually administered orally but also intramuscularly, intravenously, and rectally. Pentobarbital molecules include;
