CAS 50-06-6: Phenobarbital
Description:Phenobarbital is a barbiturate, primarily used as a sedative and anticonvulsant. It is characterized by its ability to depress the central nervous system, making it effective in the treatment of seizures and as a pre-anesthetic agent. The chemical structure of phenobarbital includes a barbituric acid core, with a phenyl group that enhances its pharmacological properties. It is typically administered orally or intravenously and has a relatively long half-life, which contributes to its prolonged effects. Phenobarbital is known for its potential for dependence and tolerance, necessitating careful monitoring during use. Additionally, it can interact with various medications, affecting their metabolism and efficacy. The substance is classified as a controlled substance in many jurisdictions due to its potential for abuse and side effects, which can include sedation, dizziness, and respiratory depression. Overall, phenobarbital remains an important medication in specific clinical settings, despite the availability of newer anticonvulsants with fewer side effects.
