| Toxicity | A barbiturate that causes CNS depression, apparently due to a facilitation of GABA-ergic inhibition. It appears that the site of action of pentobarbital may be the macromolecular complex made up of a GABA receptor, chloride channel, benzodiazepine-binding site, and picrotoxin-binding site. Barbiturates have been shown to compete for dihydropicrotoxinin-binding sites. In clinical use, barbiturates such as pentobarbital have been largely replaced as sedative-hypnotics by the much safer benzodiazepines. The sedative-hypnotic properties of barbiturates may lead to abuse, as tolerance and dependence are known to occur. In animals, pentobarbital is routinely used for its anesthetic and anticonvulsant properties, as well as for euthanasia. Pentobarbital, like other barbiturates, can induce the metabolism of other compounds by altering cytochrome P450 activity. The oral LD50 in rats is 118 mg/kg. | |||||||||

Pentobarbital Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
Pentobarbital (CRM) (Item No. 20966) is a certified reference material categorized as a barbiturate. Pentobarbital is regulated as a Schedule II compound in the United States. Pentobarbital (CRM) (Item No. 20966) is provided as a DEA exempt preparation. This product is intended for research and forensic applications.
Chemical Properties
A white or almost white, crystalline powder or colourless crystals
Uses
Sedative-hypnotic.
Definition
ChEBI: A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by ethyl and sec-pentyl groups.
World Health Organization (WHO)
Pentobarbital is a short-acting barbiturate which is controlled under Schedule III of the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. See WHO comment for barbiturates. (Reference: (UNCPS3) United Nations Convention on Psychotropic Substances (III), , , 1971)
Purification Methods
A solution of the sodium salt in 10% HCl is prepared, and the acid is extracted with ether. Evaporation of the extract gives a solid which is then purified by repeated crystallisation from CHCl3. It sublimes at 95-105o/10-12mm. [Bucket & Sandorfy J Phys Chem 88 3274 1984.] The (+)-and (-)-enantiomers crystallise from 50% aqueous EtOH with m 120-121o and have [] 25 +4.73o to –4.93o (EtOH) [Kleiderer & Shonle J Am Chem Soc 56 1772 1934].
