4.3 Drug Indication

For use as a sedative and hypnotic.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Talbutal is a short to intermediate-acting barbiturate that is a nonselective central nervous system (CNS) depressant. As with other barbiturates, talbutal is capable of producing all levels of CNS mood alteration from excitation to mild sedation, hypnosis, and deep coma. Barbiturates may also induce anesthesia at sufficiently high therapeutic doses.


5.2 ATC Code

N - Nervous system

N05 - Psycholeptics

N05C - Hypnotics and sedatives

N05CA - Barbiturates, plain

N05CA07 - Talbutal


5.3 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

THERE EXISTS NO IMPENETRABLE BARRIER TO DIFFUSION OF BARBITURATES IN BODY ... SMALL AMT ... MAY APPEAR IN MILK AFTER INGESTION OF LARGE DOSES. ... READILY CROSS PLACENTAL BARRIER, &, WITHIN FEW MIN AFTER INJECTION OF SHORT-... ACTING BARBITURATE, CONCN IN FETAL BLOOD APPROACHES THAT IN MATERNAL VENOUS BLOOD. /BARBITURATES/

Goodman, L.S., and A. Gilman. (eds.) The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 5th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1975., p. 112


THREE MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS AFFECTING DISTRIBUTION & FATE OF BARBITURATES ARE LIPID SOLUBILITY ... PROTEIN BINDING, & EXTENT OF IONIZATION. ... THE MORE HIGHLY LIPID-SOL COMPD ARE SHORT-ACTING AGENTS... THEY TEND TO BE MORE RAPIDLY DEGRADED METABOLICALLY & ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY REABSORBED BY RENAL TUBULE. /BARBITURATES/

Goodman, L.S., and A. Gilman. (eds.) The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 5th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1975., p. 113


For sedative hypnotic use, the barbiturates are usually administered orally. Such doses are rapidly and probably completely absorbed; sodium salts are absorbed more rapidly than the corresponding free acids, especially from liquid formulations. The onset of action varies from 10 to 60 min, depending upon the agent and the formulation, and is delayed by the presence of food in stomach. /Barbiturates/

Gilman, A.G., T.W. Rall, A.S. Nies and P. Taylor (eds.). Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 8th ed. New York, NY. Pergamon Press, 1990., p. 361


Barbiturates are distributed widely and readily cross the placenta. Binding to plasma proteins is a function of lipid solubility and is greatest for thiopental, which is bound to the extent of 65% or more. The highly lipid soluble barbiturates, led by those used to induce anesthesia, undergo redistribution after intravenous injection. Uptake into less vascular tissue, especially muscle and fat, leads to a decline in the concentration of barbiturate in the plasma and brain.

5.4 Metabolism/Metabolites

MOST BARBITURATES ARE TRANSFORMED IN BODY TO INACTIVE METABOLITES. PRINCIPAL SITE OF BIOTRANSFORMATION IS LIVER. OXYBARBITURATES ARE TRANSFORMED ONLY BY LIVER; THIOBARBITURATES MAY BE TRANSFORMED TO SMALL EXTENT IN OTHER TISSUES, ESP KIDNEY & BRAIN ... /BARBITURATES/

Goodman, L.S., and A. Gilman. (eds.) The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 5th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1975., p. 115


Hepatic biotransformation, primarily by the hepatic microsomal enzyme system. /Barbiturates/

United States Pharmacopeial Convention; USP Dispensing Information 12th ed Vol IA p.575 (1992)


With the exception of the less lipid-soluble aprobarbital and phenobarbital, nearly complete metabolism and/or conjugation of barbiturates in the liver precedes their renal excretion. The oxidation of radicals at C5 is the most important biotransformation responsible for termination of biological activity. Oxidation results in the formation of alcohols, kentones, phenols, or carboxylic acids, which may appear in the urine as such or as glucuronic acid conjugates. In some instances (e.g., phenobarbital), N-glucosylation is an important metabolic pathway. Other biotransformations include N-hydroxylation, desulfuration of thiobarbiturates to oxybarbiturates, opening of the barbituric acid ring, and N-dealkylation of N-alkylbarbiturates to active metabolites (e.g., mephobarbital to phenobarbital).

5.5 Biological Half-Life

5.6 Mechanism of Action

Talbutal binds to GABAA receptors at a distinct binding site associated with a Cl- ionopore of the receptor. Upon binding, talbutal increases the duration of time for which the Cl- ionopore is open, leading to prolonged inhibitory effect of GABA at the postsynaptic thalamic neuron.


BARBITURATES REVERSIBLY DEPRESS ACTIVITY OF ALL EXCITABLE TISSUES. NOT ALL TISSUES ARE AFFECTED @ SAME DOSE OR CONCN; CNS IS EXQUISITELY SENSITIVE, SO THAT WHEN BARBITURATES ARE GIVEN IN SEDATIVE OR HYPNOTIC DOSES, VERY LITTLE EFFECT ON SKELETAL, CARDIAC, OR SMOOTH MUSCLE OCCURS. /BARBITURATES/

Goodman, L.S., and A. Gilman. (eds.) The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 5th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1975., p. 104


... RETICULAR ACTIVATING SYSTEM IS EXQUISITELY SENSITIVE TO DEPRESSANT EFFECTS OF BARBITURATES ... WHATEVER ... EFFECTS OF BARBITURATES ELSEWHERE IN CNS, IT IS EFFECT ON RETICULAR SYSTEM THAT SEEMS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INABILITY TO MAINTAIN WAKEFULNESS UNDER INFLUENCE OF BARBITURATE. /BARBITURATES/

Goodman, L.S., and A. Gilman. (eds.) The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 5th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1975., p. 108


BARBITURATES ARE RESP DEPRESSANTS, AFFECTING BOTH DRIVE TO RESP & MECHANISM RESPONSIBLE FOR RHYTHMIC CHARACTER OF RESP MOVEMENT. /BARBITURATES/

Goodman, L.S., and A. Gilman. (eds.) The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 5th ed. New York: Macmillan Publishing Co., Inc., 1975., p. 108


The mechanism(s) of action of the barbiturates is not completely known. Although the drugs act throughout the CNS, a site of particular sensitivity is the polysynaptic midbrain reticular formation which is concerned with the arousal mechanism. Barbiturates induce an imbalance in central inhibitory and facilitatory mechanisms influencing the cerebral cortex and the reticualar formation. The significance of the effect of barbiturates on neurotransmitters is unclear. It appears that the drugs decrease the excitability of both presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes. It has not been determined which of the various actions of barbiturates at cellular and synaptic levels are responsible for their sedative and hypnotic effects. /Barbiturates/
