Application

Barbital has been used as an assay buffer for determining the carbonic anhydrase activity. It has also been used for rocket immunoelectrophoresis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Barbital also referred to as 5,5-Diethylbarbituric acid, Barbitone or Veronal is a sedative/hypnotic (sleeping aid). It stimulates the development of tumors in rats treated with a sub-effective dose of N-bis(2-hydroxypropyl)nitrosamine (DHPN).
