Barbiturates

Police: Barbiturates Barbiturates (derivatives of barbituric acid) were first introduced for medical use in the early 1900s. More than 2,500 barbiturates have been synthesized, and in the height of their popularity about 50 were marketed for human use. Today, only about a dozen are used. Barbiturates produce a wide spectrum of CNS depression, from mild sedation to coma, and have been used as sedatives, hypnotics, anesthetics and anticonvulsants. Lone-acting barbiturates include phenobarbital (Luminal) and mephobarbital (Mebaral). Effects of these drugs are realized in about one hour land last for about 12 hours and are use primarily for daytime sedation and the treatment of seizure disorders or mild anxiety. The primary differences among many of these products are how fast they produce an effect and how long those effects last. Barbiturates are classified as ultra short, short, intermediate and long- acting. The ultra short-acting barbiturates produce anesthesia within about one minute after intravenous administration. Those in current medical use are methohexital (Brevital), thiamylal (Surital) and thiopental (Pentothal). Barbiturate abusers prefer the short-acting and intermediate-acting barbiturates pentobarbital (Nembutal), secobarbital (Seconal) and amobarbital (Amytal). Other short-and intermediate-acting barbiturates are butalbital (Fiorinal, Fioricet), butabarbital (Butisol), talbutal (Lotusate) and aprobarbital (Alurate). After oral administration, the onset of action is from 15 to 40 minutes and the effects last up to 6 hours. These drugs are primarily used for sedation or to induce sleep. Veterinarians use pentobarbital for anesthesia and euthanasia. .

All rights reserved. 475012 For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Rx Only ANNUAL REVIEW Reviewed by Date Reviewed by Date PRINCIPLE INTENDED USE BARB reagent, in conjunction with UniCel DxC 600/800 System(s) and SYNCHRON Systems Drugs of Abuse Testing (DAT) Urine Calibrators, is intended for the qualitative determination of barbiturates in human urine at a cutoff value of 200 ng/mL. The BARB assay provides a rapid screening procedure for determining the presence of barbiturates (BARB) and its metabolites in urine. This test provides only a preliminary analytical result; a positive result by this assay should be confirmed by another generally accepted non-immunological method such as thin layer chromatography (TLC), gas chromatography (GC), or gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). GC/MS is the preferred confirmatory method.1,2 Clinical consideration and professional judgement should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are used. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Barbiturates are a class of central nervous system depressants that are used as sedatives and hypnotics. Measurements of barbiturates are used in the diagnosis and treatment of barbiturate use or overdose, and in monitoring the presence of barbiturates to ensure appropriate therapy. METHODOLOGY This assay utilizes a homogenous enzyme immunoassay method.3 The BARB reagent is comprised of a specific antibody which can detect most analyte in urine. A drug-labeled glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) conjugate competes with any free drug from the urine sample for a fixed amount of antibody binding sites.
