Description
Pentobarbital belongs to the pyrimidines and pyrimidine derivatives, a subclass of diazines within the organic compounds. This exogenous organic compound has the formula C11H18N2O3 and an average molecular weight of 226.27 g/mol. At room temperature, it exists as a solid. It is utilized as a sedative and hypnotic agent, typically administered orally, though it is prescribed more frequently for sleep induction than for sedation. Its effectiveness may decrease by the second week of continued administration. The compound is associated with 14 recorded sources, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals and veterinary products (hypnotics and sedatives), drinking water and water supply, food, food processing and cookware (preparation of wort, food preservation, and fermentation processes for beer), household cleaning and consumer products (tobacco smoke filters, cigar cigarettes, non electric simulated smoking devices, and other smoking requisites), and electrical and electronic equipment (electrodes, magnets, antennas, conductors or conductive bodies characterised by the conductive materials, and electrically stimulated smoking devices). Recorded routes of exposure include oral, intravenous, intramuscular, and rectal administration. Pentobarbital interacts with 30 recorded protein targets, including Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-2 (GABRA2), alpha-3 (GABRA3), alpha-4 (GABRA4), and alpha-6 (GABRA6). It acts as an antagonist/positive allosteric modulator of these receptors. Specifically, pentobarbital binds at a distinct binding site associated with a Cl- ionopore at the GABAA receptor, increasing the duration for which the Cl- ionopore remains open. This prolongs the post-synaptic inhibitory effect of GABA in the thalamus and is associated with marked decreases in GABA-sensitive neuronal calcium conductance (gCa), resulting in the acute potentiation of inhibitory GABAergic tone.

Mechanism of ToxicityPentobarbital binds at a distinct binding site associated with a Cl- ionopore at the GABAA receptor, increasing the duration of time for which the Cl- ionopore is open. The post-synaptic inhibitory effect of GABA in the thalamus is, therefore, prolonged. All of these effects are associated with marked decreases in GABA-sensitive neuronal calcium conductance (gCa). The net result of barbiturate action is acute potentiation of inhibitory GABAergic tone. Barbiturates also act through potent (if less well characterized) and direct inhibition of excitatory AMPA-type glutamate receptors, resulting in a profound suppression of glutamatergic neurotransmission.
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
SymptomsSymptoms of an overdose typically include sluggishness, incoordination, difficulty in thinking, slowness of speech, faulty judgment, drowsiness or coma, shallow breathing, staggering, and in severe cases coma and death.
TreatmentTreatment of overdosage is mainly supportive and consists of maintaining an adequate airway, with assisted respiration and oxygen administration as necessary, monitoring of vital signs and fluid balance, and fluid therapy and other standard treatment for shock, if needed. If renal function is normal, forced diuresis may aid in the elimination of the barbiturate. Alkalinization of the urine increases renal excretion of some barbiturates, especially phenobarbital, also aprobarbital and mephobarbital (which is metabolized to phenobarbital). Although not recommended as a routine procedure, hemodialysis may be used in severe barbiturate intoxications or if the patient is anuric or in shock. The patient should be rolled from side to side every 30 minutes and antibiotics should be given if pneumonia is suspected. Appropriate nursing care to prevent hypostatic pneumonia, decubiti, aspiration, and other complications of patients with altered states of consciousness. (3)

Gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-1 structureClick to view 3D structureGamma-aminobutyric acid receptor subunit alpha-1P14867HumansKnownPentobarbital binds at a distinct binding site associated with a Cl- ionopore at the GABAA receptor, increasing the duration of time for which the Cl- ionopore is open. The post-synaptic inhibitory effect of GABA in the thalamus is, therefore, prolonged. All of these effects are associated with marked decreases in GABA-sensitive neuronal calcium conductance (gCa). The net result of barbiturate action is acute potentiation of inhibitory GABAergic tone. Barbiturates also act through potent (if less well characterized) and direct inhibition of excitatory AMPA-type glutamate receptors, resulting in a profound suppression of glutamatergic neurotransmission.
