CAS 57-44-3
:Barbital
Description:
Barbital, with the CAS number 57-44-3, is a barbiturate that was historically used as a sedative and hypnotic agent. It is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and alcohol, making it suitable for various pharmaceutical formulations. Chemically, barbital is classified as a 5-ethyl-5-isobutylbarbituric acid derivative, which contributes to its pharmacological properties. The substance acts primarily as a central nervous system depressant, enhancing the effects of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at the GABA-A receptor, leading to sedation and anxiolytic effects. While barbital was once widely prescribed, its use has declined due to the development of safer alternatives and concerns regarding dependence and overdose. It is important to note that barbital is a controlled substance in many jurisdictions, reflecting its potential for abuse and the need for careful regulation in medical contexts.

CAS:Controlled ProductBarbital is a barbiturate that has been used in the treatment of epilepsy, insomnia, and as a sedative. Barbital has been shown to have significant cytotoxicity against human serum. It also inhibits the synthesis of p-hydroxybenzoic acid by competing with the enzyme amide hydrolase. The fluorescence properties of barbital can be used to measure 5-HT concentrations in biological studies. Barbital is an inhibitor molecule for enzymes such as monoamine oxidase, which are found in the brain and other organs. The monosodium salt form of barbital is more soluble than other forms and has a lower toxicity level than other barbiturates.Formula:C8H12N2O3Purity:Min. 95%Molecular weight:184.19 g/mol
