General description

Phenobarbital is the oldest and most widely used barbiturate. The drug is an anticonvulsant approved for treatment of all seizure types with the exception of absence seizures. This certified solution standard is suitable as starting material for the preparation of calibrators and controls in phenobarbital testing by GC/MS or LC-MS/MS.

Application


  • Fabrication of a Surface Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Membrane: Phenobarbital is utilized in the development of molecularly imprinted polymer membranes for the selective separation and extraction of various pharmaceutical compounds, enhancing the precision and efficiency of drug monitoring in clinical settings. This application leverages the specific binding properties of Phenobarbital to improve sample preparation techniques for complex biological matrices (Zhao et al., 2024).

  • An Isotope Dilution-Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry-Based Reference Measurement Procedure: Phenobarbital′s role in establishing reference measurement procedures underscores its importance in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of drug quantification in clinical laboratories. This application supports the standardization of laboratory measurements, critical for patient care and therapeutic monitoring (Schierscher et al., 2024).

Pharmacology & toxicology, 89(3), 113-122 (2001-10-09)
Phenobarbital has long been used as a sedative and antiepileptic drug. The drug is the representative of a myriad of lipophilic molecules able to evoke a pleiotropic response in the liver and also in prokaryotes and flies. A great deal

Drug metabolism reviews, 38(1-2), 75-87 (2006-05-11)
In the early 1960s, phenobarbital (PB) was shown to induce hepatic drug metabolism and the induction was implicated in the molecular mechanism of drug tolerance development. Since then, it has become evident that PB not only induces drug metabolism, but

This article reviews the current position of phenobarbital using articles published since 2000 and speculates on its likely future contribution to epilepsy care. Over the last decade there have been no major double-blind randomized placebo-controlled or comparative trials with phenobarbital.

Epilepsia, 45(9), 1141-1149 (2004-08-27)
Phenobarbital (PB) is the most widely used antiepileptic drug (AED) in the developing world and remains a popular choice in many industrialized countries. Meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials suggest that few differences in efficacy exist between PB and other established
