Extract

Brandström (1957) in Sweden, has recently resolved certain problems in the synthesis of barbiturates with a neopentyl group as one of the ring substituents and the resulting compound 5-allyl-5-neopentyl-barbituric acid∗ has been subjected to experimental studies which show it to be less hypnotic and anaesthetic than amylobarbitone or pentobarbitone sodium and yet protective to rats subjected to a stress situation after the technique of Jacobsen and Sonné (1955). The drug is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, and has a duration of action between that of amylobarbitone and phenobarbitone.
