General description

Butalbital is a barbiturate often combined with other medications such as acetaminophen or aspirin for the treatment of pain or codeine for headaches. Trade names of several butalbital combinations include Axocet®, Bucet, and Bupap® with acetaminophen and Axotal with aspirin. This certified reference solution is suitable for GC/MS or LC/MS applications in forensic analysis, clinical toxicology or urine drug testing.

Application


  • Butalbital API for Research: Investigates Butalbital as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), focusing on its properties and applications in synthesizing complex pharmaceutical formulations, essential for developing new barbiturate-based treatments (Yang et al., 2022).

  • Butalbital Compound Synthesis: Explores the synthesis of Butalbital and its derivatives, underlining its critical role in the development of CNS depressants and its pharmacological potential in neurobiological research (Marmura et al., 2015).

  • Barbiturate Biochemical Research: Focuses on Butalbital′s effects on human platelet aggregation, offering insights into its mechanism of action within the cardiovascular system, which is vital for tailoring barbiturate-based therapies (Sato et al., 2003).

  • Butalbital Pharmacological Studies: Discusses the pharmacological profiling of Butalbital, emphasizing its utility in managing acute pain and headaches, thereby supporting its continued use in clinical settings for migraine and tension headache relief (Mazer-Amirshahi et al., 2014).

  • CNS Depressant Research Chemical: Analyzes Butalbital′s role as a central nervous system depressant, assessing its effectiveness and safety profile, which is crucial for its application in chronic pain management and treatment of cluster headaches (Cutrer et al., 1999).
