Secobarbital
Secobarbital is a barbiturate with sedative, hypnotic, and anticonvulsant effects. It acts by enhancing GABA-A receptor-mediated inhibition in the central nervous system. Due to its narrow therapeutic window and potential for dependence, there is a high risk of overdose and abuse. Secobarbital was previously primarily used as a sleeping aid and for anesthesia, but is now less common due to safer alternatives.
