The condensation of per(trimethyl)silylbarbital and -phenobarbital with 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-acetyl-beta-D-glucopyranose in the presence of stannic chloride in dichloroethane gave moderate yields of the beta-coupled barbiturate N-D-glucopyranosyl derivatives. Reaction of metharbital and mephobarbital under the same conditions was unsuccessful. The homologous N-methylglucosides were prepared by reaction of the barbital and phenobarbital N-glucosyl derivatives with diazomethane. The diastereomers of the phenobarbital and mephobarbital derivatives were resolved by use of C-18 reverse-phase h.p.l.c. 1H- and 13C-n.m.r. spectroscopy, and thermospray 1.c.-m.s. proved to be the most useful methods for characterizing the barbiturate glucosides.

Elucidation of Degradation Behavior of Barbiturates in Artificial Gastric Juice: Study on Degradability of Drugs in Stomach (V).
Chem Pharm Bull (Tokyo)

Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Shonan University of Medical Sciences.
The gastric stability of eight barbiturates (BARs) (barbital, primidone, allobarbital, phenobarbital, cyclobarbital, pentobarbital, secobarbital, and thiobutabarbital (TBB)) was examined in artificial gastric juice using LC/UV detection. Among the eight BARs, only TBB was degraded at higher temperatures. Furthermore, the degradation product of TBB was isolated, structurally analyzed, and finally identified as 5-butan-2-yl-5-ethyl-1,3-diazinane-2,4,6-trione, also known as butabarbital.

In the method described here, an aliquot of a urine sample is analyzed to detect barbiturates through dilution and ultra-high-performance chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) using deuterated internal standards. This assay detects the presence of nine barbiturate drugs-amobarbital, barbital, butalbital, butabarbital, mephobarbital, secobarbital, pentobarbital, phenobarbital, and thiopental. This protocol describes two LC separation methods-first LC method (2.

Purpose: This study aims to develop and validate a rapid, simple, and efficient bioanalytical method for the simultaneous quantification of phenobarbital and barbital in human whole blood using liquid-liquid extraction combined with direct analysis in real time (DART) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS).
Method: Phenobarbital-d5 and aprobarbital were selected as internal standards (ISs) of phenobarbital and barbital, respectively. A mixed solvent of o-xylene and ethyl acetate at a ratio of 1:6 was used to extract analytes of interest and ISs from 100 μL of human whole blood samples.
Donor-Acceptor Stenhouse Adduct Displaying Reversible Photoswitching in Water and Neuronal Activity.

The interest in the photochromism and functional applications of donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) soared in recent years owing to their outstanding advantages and flexible design. However, their low solubility and irreversible conversion in aqueous solutions hampered exploring DASAs for biology and medicine. It is notably unknown whether the barbiturate electron acceptor group retains the pharmacological activity of drugs such as phenobarbital, which targets γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-type A receptors (GABARs) in the brain.

Pharmaceuticals are considered emerging contaminants in terms of impacts on wildlife. One chemical group of concern is euthanasia agents used in veterinary medicine. Here we present data on the occurrence of barbiturate intoxication using samples collected from 2004 to 2020 of suspected wildlife and domestic animal poisoning cases in Spain (n = 3210).
