Ethallobarbital
Ethallobarbital is a barbiturate derivative. It has sedative effects and can induce sleep in individuals. It is used in the treatment of insomnia and other sleep disorders.
History[edit | edit source]
Ethallobarbital was first synthesized in the early 20th century. It was one of the first barbiturates to be used in medical practice, and it quickly gained popularity due to its sedative effects.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Ethallobarbital works by increasing the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter that inhibits brain activity. This results in a decrease in brain activity, which leads to sedation and sleep.
