Methitural Sodium Salt(CAT: I032093) is a short-acting barbiturate widely used in pharmacological and neurobiological research. It functions as a central nervous system (CNS) depressant, modulating GABAergic neurotransmission by enhancing the activity of the GABA-A receptor. This compound is commonly employed in studies investigating anesthetic mechanisms, seizure activity, and sedative effects. Its sodium salt form improves solubility and bioavailability, making it suitable for in vitro and in vivo applications. With high purity and stability, Methitural Sodium Salt supports research into CNS function, drug interactions, and the development of therapeutic interventions for neurological disorders.
