DESCRIPTION
The barbiturates are nonselective central nervous system depressants
which are primarily used as
sedative hypnotics and also anticonvulsants in subhypnotic doses. The
barbiturates and their sodium
salts are subject to control under the Federal Controlled Substances
Act (See "Drug Abuse and
Dependence" section).
The sodium salts of amobarbital, pentobarbital, phenobarbital, and
secobarbital are available as sterile
parenteral solutions.
Barbiturates are substituted pyrimidine derivatives in which the basic
structure common to these drugs
is barbituric acid, a substance which has no central nervous system
(CNS) activity. CNS activity is
obtained by substituting alkyl, alkenyl, or aryl groups on the
pyrimidine ring.
Pentobarbital Sodium Injection, USP is a sterile solution for
intravenous or intramuscular injection. Each
mL contains pentobarbital sodium 50 mg, in a vehicle of propylene
glycol, 40%, alcohol, 10% v/v and
water for injection, to volume. The pH is adjusted to approximately
9.5 with hydrochloric acid and/or
sodium hydroxide.
Pentobarbital Sodium Injection, USP is a short-acting barbiturate,
chemically designated as sodium 5-
ethyl-5-(1-methylbutyl) barbiturate. The structural formula for
Pentobarbital Sodium is:
The sodium salt occurs as a white, slightly bitter powder which is
freely soluble in water and alcohol
but practically insoluble in benzene and ether.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Barbiturates are capable of producing all levels of CNS mood
alteration from excitation to mild
sedation, to hypnosis, and deep coma. Overdosage can produce death. In
high enough therapeutic doses,
barbiturates induce anesthesia.
Barbiturates depress the sensory cortex, decrease motor activity,
alter cerebellar function, and produce
drowsiness, sedation, and hypnosis.
Barbiturate-induced sleep differs from physiological
