Barbital
Barbital is a barbiturate with sedative and hypnotic properties that acts by enhancing GABA-A receptor activity. Historically, it has been used as a sleeping aid and tranquilizer, but due to its risk of dependence and overdose, it has largely been replaced by safer substances. The effect leads to central nervous system depression and can be life-threatening in case of overdose.
