Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Butethal is a barbiturate derivative with sedative and hypnotic properties, primarily used in the past for short-term treatment of insomnia and as a pre-anesthetic agent. It acts by enhancing the activity of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA at GABA-A receptors, leading to central nervous system depression. This results in sedation, reduced anxiety, and sleep induction.
